    This 8R is listed in DNB as very rare . Bought raw ( not cheap 😄) at Morten Eden Mexican Auction 2019

    What the slabs do not say is that all the 8 reales purchased by me at the above auction are traced to Clyde Hubbard provenance.

    @bidask Based on your past comments here, I would have been guessing that you had to hold a lot of clients' hands this week! Very nice coins & like the Clyde Hubbard provenances too.

  • BoosibriBoosibri Posts: 12,347 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Where are you finding these??

    I'm just glad you are focused on your area... and not mine!

    I don't appreciate the nuances here but looks like you are picking up some nice examples.

    Dan - invest in decent photography. These are great coins yet iphone doesn't do them justice. Even the PCGS image is an option - here are some of yours.

    I like that 1877Cn... has an almost watery look to it in the PCGS image (though I can never get a great read on surfaces/look from those).

    If you're bored, snap a quick front/back of that piece with your camera, a la that 1873Go you just posted.

  • scubafuelscubafuel Posts: 1,923 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I noticed that too, especially the obverse. I figured it was a consequence of die fatigue.

  • bidaskbidask Posts: 14,017 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I wish Mike Dunnigan would do a second
    edition of his classic RESPLANDORES.

    I’ve noticed in crossing some 8 reales
    that NGC and PCGS differ sometimes on varieties.

    I have had several discussions with Mike ......he is extremely learned in this series.....way over my my head.

    I plan to go to the Texas Numismatic Association show in late May to hang out with him ...if they have the show.
