I shared this over on the world coin forum when I won the bid, but considering it just came in this week from the Chicago Auction, and that MsMorrisine has gotten us started off with a nice Silver round featuring a 1733 8 reales coin, I'm hoping you'll let me slide on the fact that this isn't exactly bullion.
My pick up....
A 1752 gold 8 escudos from the Lima mint in Peru featuring Ferdinand VI
No great story. Purchased it on Ebay or auction (can't remember) Beautiful little nugget. Not as big to the naked eye as it seems in the pic. 18.5 gram nugget. I think I paid about 1.25X over spot for it. Not sure the premiums now, but then, nuggets half ounce or less usually had very little premium over spot.

Interesting, but I can't make out the # of toz. My Latin is non existing....how about giving us some details.
2 troy ounces, it's a pillar dollar, 8 reales
Nice looking dollar!
Nothing new for me this week. I gave my mail lady a break this week.

@ARCO .... Nice nugget..... any details? Backstory? Cheers, RickO
Picked up this bar. Has a slight trapezoid taper and polished. I thought it was a neat shape and size to add to my vintage bar collection.
Didn’t pick anything up but did get some of my PM ‘tarnished’ on a buddies property.

@ARCO....Thanks for replying.... 18.5 grams is a nice size, plus it has a very interesting shape....Cheers, RickO
