Newp received today and imaged with a makeshift set-up after moving back from Europe and without the appropriate lighting. This lighting I did have did a great job!

Wonderful coin of a scarce type. Thanks @MrEureka for the help!

    Beautiful coin!

    I like that eagle better than those pictured on American coins.

    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    Not an eagle - it's a condor.

    Funny, I had never noticed that the condor is breaking a chain. I guess I was too used to seeing the Mexican eagle doing the same to a snake.

    The best part, "by reason or by force"... Lovely coin.

    When you have time, please tell us a little about the differences between the US and where you were. Things like the quality of the coins, what is commonly seen, etc. Does the Internet keep most things such as prices and grading the same? What percentage of coins are in slabs? Know what, I'll start a discussion to satisfy my curiosity. Thanks for the idea

    Condor for sure. Nice action shot breaking the chains of servitude. Peace Roy

    Chilean Condors are an attractive series. I have dabbled in them, but nothing serious. Very cool coin.
