    Not yet to my knowledge. I don't buy this coinage but would be interested in such a book.

    TPG population data is not much use for this coinage, except in confirming a low proportion as being common, like the 1774 Potosi 8R which I recall is a hoard coin.

    Same here I don't collect them but would like to learn about them. I have finished his 1st book I learned a whole lot but would like to see the later dates as well.

    I do collect the Lion & Castle quarter real to a limited extent but not the Portraits. I own 10 from six mints (missing Popayan, Colombia and all but one of the unattributed types) in grades AU-55 to MS-67.

    The Mexico coins are included in his Portrait book. I would be very interested in survey data for the other mints. This isn't a series that is widely collected to my knowledge but a lot of scarce dates here too.

    It would be nice to see him publish a few more books I would be a buyer.

    My next preference would be Bolivian decimal coinage from 1864-1909 but I would probably be the only buyer.

    On a more serious note, there are plenty of other potential candidates I wish he would cover:

    A Resplendores type book for the other four Mexico Cap & Ray denominations but with survey data:

    Central American Republic

    Ecuador Capped Bust

    Colonial gold coinage

    I'd be interested in a book specifically directed toward "royals" but presume it has been covered many times elsewhere though not in a similar format. (I only own Practical Book of Cobs.)

    I would like to see a full book on the cap and rays from Mexico that I would really enjoy. I mean 1/2 Reales to 4 Reales. Would be a great book.

    I wonder if anyone will ever bother doing such a book. Would be great if it was made like the Resplendores book.

    Thanks I am guessing it's only in Spanish and I have no understanding of that language except for a few words.

    I would like to see all caps and rays 1/2 reales up to 4 reales.

    Thanks. I am actually more interested in the other denominations aside from the 8R. The coins are frequently (usually?) scarcer but where not, cheaper where I can afford to buy it.

    I also interested in the few coins attributed to Panama and the Dominican Republic (not royals to my knowledge).

    What does the book cover countries and years? Does it cover rarity as well?

    As the title says, it covers Mexico, Peru and Bolivia. And yes, it provides extensive notes on rarity.
