Did you buy the 1869-OA Ornate 9 8R in 65?

Dunigan needs a website

Did you wonder why it was in that section of the catalog?
I agree
I spoke to him at length at NYINC .
He is a walking encyclopedia regards 8 reales 1823 -1897. I really enjoyed the education he gave me and he offered to speak with and teach me should I have any questions .
He had some really scarce 8 reales in his case . Asking full retail . No haggling.
He gives you a price and then it’s a pass or buy .
I bought a couple from him .

Seemed kinda funny

Looks like the market is alive and well. The prices for the coins I saw were strong. Even the counterfeit pieces...
LOL you two. I was looking at lots and that was the only one I was tempted to bid on in this group. Glad I didn't.
Where are the pics of the coins you bought?

I will have to post when I get a chance .
At NYINC I bought a gorgeous 1818 r 960 reis. NGC grades 65. Terrific toning at the periphery/ devices and more subtle in the fields ... also with wonderful underlying luster.
While I was walking around I was thinking to myself that great coins are to cheap .
By great I mean very low pops and exceptional quality.
I got myself so excited thinking this I bought a stunning 1808 50 Stivers with fabulous luster as well as a gorgeous 1848 A French 5 franc Louis Philippe .
Both stunners .
Then I came to my senses again and said to myself I’m getting off track again .
However I sold a bunch of modern gold that gave me room to buy these quality crowns .
Other than what Mike Dunnigan had at his table I did not see any cap & Ray 8 reales on the floor that were either scarce or high quality.
I give away money. I collect money.

Coins like this go to show how seemingly expense prices offered by dealers can in fact be a bargain in retrospect after the auction dust settles.

There was a scarce Cap & Ray 8R pattern on the floor. It was AU-ish.
Durango 1840 OMC. Made me think of you in the moment.
8 Reales Madness Collection
It failed to sell in the immediately prior NGSA auction, so they brought it to the show. The price wasn’t crazy either.
