The 1811-14 issues in copper fascinate me, someday I’ll add a silver piece….can we see some?
I have a few, this is my best one - an 8 reales. I'll have to get better pictures eventually. Fun series to get into, but rife with forgeries, and some of them are even slabbed. Fantasy pieces are also floating around as well.
I only have a junky old copper one. I’ve never seen a silver one in person, that’s quite nice!
I'm BACK!!! Used to be Billet7 on the old forum.
I’m thinking the silver is a cast version, right?

Yes it is! As you may know, most of the silver issues are cast, with struck pieces commanding a serious premium.
