    Shows us as many as you want do not limit yourself to one coin (if you own more that is).

    @Coinlover101 that is curious, maybe the punch itself was messed up

    I don't have any more Lima 4R's to add, but I will say this:

    All of you guys (including myself) who like/appreciate Peruvian coins, have you tried Peruvian food?
    If you haven't, you should!

    Ok, back to coins :)

    I have had quite a bit of Peruvian food. It’s good.

    A well made Ceviche can be quite good. Honestly though, most of the time I’ve eaten foods with the Peruvian commonfolk it tends to be a rice and bean meal. Good, but not entirely unique.

    Never tried only ''Mexican'' aka Canadian version. And when I visited Mexico as a young kid but I cannot remember that far back. Will check if there is any of these restaurants in my city and give them a try if there is. I am not rich enough to travel so this is my best option. I live in a big city so there is a good chance there are a few Latin American restaurants around.

    Just looked fast and there seems to be many so this Summer I will get out and try a few. Not sure how authentic they will be...I guess I will find out. Based on images I found it seems authentic at least to me. I found a Peru restaurant that will be my first stop in June.

    It’s kinda like a different flavored Poké, in some respects. Kinda like if you mixed cowboy caviar with raw fish that was mixed with lime juice.

    I guess I am needing to learn more on the foods of the countries I collect coins from!!!

    I own seven. I've been in a position to buy all but the 1752, with all but a few in "market acceptable" quality, but I was either outbid or didn't sufficiently prioritize it.

    Many of the dates I don't own I just didn't like the coin enough, for the price or otherwise.

    The ones I liked most that I didn't buy are the 1757, 1759, 1761, 1765, 1769, and 1771. The 1765 was above my price range, but I wish in retrospect I had tried harder to buy the others.
