Cool! I really like the 2 reales denomination.

Triplets! Very nice, they go well together, congrats!

The images does not help too much, in hand are way better and nicer.

What do you think of that green color on the Peru 2R, I need a magnifier to see it in more detail, I saw it before I bought it, and since it is way difficult al least for me to find a 2R in this condition raw, I went anyways. So leave it alone no? I been putting aside some coins that want to send for grading and want to include these. Thanks!

You could try an acetone rinse. I don't have any experience doing an acetone rinse personally but know that is often how others deal with the very minor issue you're referencing on your Peru 2 Reales.

Here are two Trueviews of the same 8 reales coin, which I currently own.
In the first picture you can note some "green specks" on the coins reverse.
In the second picture, after what I assume was a bath in acetone, you can see the green specks were removed.

Nice coins!!! The lower denominations are great series to collect.

I saw in more detail your first TV, the coin it is way nice to me, and those spots did not do anything to the grade, so I will leave my coin as-is. Thank you so much.

Nice circ pieces, with the star of course being the Santiago. Regarding the 1788 Lima, I see that as simply speckled toning - I would leave it be.
