To the long term members here over the years you have been at collecting reales have you guys see many attempt to collect either of these series or do most gravitate towards the 8 reales then the 4 reales?

PillarDollarCollector

Anyone around here know if these series are collected at all or have there been times when yes and times not so much?

mvs7

I just collect by type, not the whole series.

A few of my little brothers.

Want this but I'm worried it's too small.

Nice toning on those

@BSmith great looking group you got! I like how clear the overdate is on the 1763 pillar.

I collect the minors the most. While I do have a handful of 8 reales, I feel like they’re too common (yet wildly popular) so they are expensive compared to their rarity. Many of the minors are extremely rare…I kinda go for that.

PillarDollarCollector

Agreed that have the allure of the rarity factor for sure. And at much more affordable prices versus the 8 reales.

I've got a coin that's incredibly similar to yours:

Very nice, Simon.
Yes very similar, perhaps the only difference is my example is the 1753/2 overdate.
(I don't see an undertype on yours?)

Correct! Mine isn't the overdate. It's almost like they lived the same life though. 😂.

Yours is also a bit nicer. If you ever let go of it, give me a jingle.
