Let’s see how long this thing runs. If you have a cob and wish to share, do it here! Here’s my first, modest contribution.

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'd like to buy some "Royals" one day, but it's never been a priority. Mexico 1/2R and 1R, maybe a Potosi 8R, and 1R or 2R from Peru.
Royals would be great coins to collect but not a cheap endeavour. I had one when I started collecting but sold it (it was a lower denomination from Mexico).
Mexican 8.

All you buy is royals my friend. Some larger, some smaller, usually roundish, but all royals
