Also, just to give some insight as to why I think the way I’ve been writing in this post, here’s an excerpt of a post I made earlier today about automation/AI that I just realized fits into this thread too and may give confused people clarity regarding this post.
“In my industry, where I’m V.P. of R&D at a company manufacturing softgel dietary supplements, true craftsmanship has/is being phased out in place of more and more automation to make the products cheaper and faster to develop and produce. I’m trying to help them at my work by simplifying how I develop new products to the point it works as an algorithm, so at least some quality becomes permanently embedded so my craftsmanship becomes a ghost in the machine. I already made the algorithm that automatically develops prototype formulas, and I’m going to work with the computer people to embed it into an app”

After 2 years of searching daily for early milled 1 reales Peru and Guatemala
For those that may be new (er) here and collect or want to colelct these series.
How many I have seen (many auction houses + dealer sites + eBay):
Peru 1751-1772 = 123 coins total (I have seen every date minus the 1751 and the 1760 Carolus variety)
Guatemala 1754-1771 = 18 coins total (still 8 dates I have yet to see)
As one can see Guatemala are much rarer (as was expected based on Yonaka). Guatemala shows up about 6-7 times less often than Peru.
Re: After 2 years of searching daily for early milled 1 reales Peru and Guatemala
Based on how many Peru 1 reales I saw during the 2 years one could have completed 1 full date set (almost 2 sets ...with the 1768 missing) 1752-1772.
Rarest and how many I saw:
1751 = 0
1760 Carolus variety = 0
1768 = 1
1766 = 2
1752 = 3
1772 = 4
All in all I saw very few in EF or better condition of any dates 1752-1772. Many had holes (around 40%) and the nicer coins were mostly the more common dates such as 1753,1757,1759 and so on.

Hahaha!!! For Peru 1 reales yes as far as other denominations go from that era I have no clue. I have heard that one specific date from the Guatemala series has yet to show up for sale in the last 40+ years from a long long time collector (he has most of the Guatemala early pillars by date and denominations) coins minus this date for the 1 reales). So taking that into account maybe it is not doable. But there are at least 2 known of that extremely rare date.

Re: 1837 LM-5 Capped Bust half dime in PCGS 63 Prooflike makes a tenfold gain
I sold a CBHDime earlier this year on GC Auction that I had hopes of $6-800 and sold for $1200, while not truly comparable it still shows what a couple or few bidders can do to a auction amount. Great coin, regardless.

The 1837 specimen dime and PL half dime would make a great pair!
