    That is a much more wholesome coin than the problem coins you had been pursuing.

    I would really like to find an 1838-1840 Arequipa Sunface 8R, especially the Herz coin which sold in the 1983 ANA.

    A coin from old Peru now Bolivia Potosi mint and final year of the cob coinage.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    I even found a couple cobs in my miscellaneous box. I apparently though they might be Potosi mint from time of Philip II 1556-1598, but they're not in best of condition and I'm not a cob expert.

    Sorry for cell phone pics... only camera I got.

    It's a die chip I think (not sure tho) that makes the llama seem uh, um, "very happy" to see you. :blush:

    I've got 1 coin from Peru, a 1966 20 Soles de Oro, MS-66 in an old holder. Mintage of 4001 coins. I don't have a ton of interest in Peru, but I do like old plastic, so the coin was sort of along for the ride.

    @PillarDollarCollector Know anyone with a Peru 1907-JF Dinero? I say it doesn't exist, The PCGS set registry shows it, but none to be found. Anyone ever SEEN one? Any have one? I will buy it...

    This is quite a find to say the least. I saw it show up in the NGC census last year but have not seen it before. Is this the Ortiz coin? Or another one? Looks different than the one in the UBS catalog.

    I believe it is different.

    1754 8 reales NGC MS62. Super sharp strike, bright white, cartwheel luster. IMO would have graded 63 or possibly higher w/o planchet flaws. I had thought to regrade it as a "Mint Error" but Mr Eureka said unlikely they would do that. Was returned to an online seller by someone who doesn't know how to read a coin photo. My gain.
