I collect # 2-7-12-17 and have been at it for 2 years with Mexico and less than 1 year for the other countries.

Would be nice to see what others collect on the boards.

I feel like it is a stretch to say I collect them but I have been buying a lot of Mexico 2 Reales as of late. So #18 in your list. I had amassed a little collection only to sell it for a coin I didn't win I have since bought a few more but only type.

All of them to some extent, although the Chile and Columbia iterations haven't found their way to me yet 😂

Here is my favourite one I own from Peru with only 424 minted (every other year except the 1751 the mintage figures are over 50 000) it is a very rare 1752 1 real:

The first year 1751 is rarer Yonaka states 1 exists but members here have said a 2nd one is know to exist. Most Peru and Guatemala lower denominations are holed.

And one of my favourite from Mexico 2nd year milled 1733 took me 2 years to find one in numerical grade only 2 grade higher:

I really like your 1733 Mexican real. It is nice to see a Fine 12 with no defects.

Thanks!!! Will be keeping this coin I doubt I will ever bother upgrading and who knows where the 2 higher graded coins are and how long they will sit in those collections. Very happy to have it crossed off my checklist.
