I know I'm not the first to do this, or have the highest graded set - but I just finalized this recently with the last piece being the elusive 4 Reales.

Coming from collecting mainly US Type, this was also one of my first forays into the darkside so it had a nice crossover with world coins used in early America, and the magic date.

I've shared most of these before , but here they are as a group, thanks for taking a look:

    Awesome set - congrats! That 4R is a tough coin.

    What's going on here on the half Real? Looks like a period was misplaced and over-struck by the R. Neat variety.

    You know what? I noticed that and thought it was strange but not having looked at many half real before, I didn't think much of it, makes it even more interesting, thanks!

    Thank you. Next is most likely a 1776 8 Escudos. Then some more world used in early America. Would like a few nice British as well.

    Why not do a clean sweep and include the 1,2,+ 4 Escudos as well? :#
    Nice set BTW!
