2025 Year in Review [B]: Anthony's Favorite Asian Coins (pt 1) and Trio of Columnarios 8 Reales

anthonythecoinman

Figured posting another _nonet _via a tray of nine for my favorite or interesting (as in, cool grading results or favorite raw grading submissions) Asian coins and my humble trio of Columnario Pillar 8 Reales of Mexico--one of my favorite non-Asian coin!

Just like the other post, here is another recap of my favorite coins for 2025–with a focus on some Asian coins, including Chinese and Colonial HK, which I sent many of them raw, as well as awesome pickups and a grade upgrade for my Pillar 8 Reales.

As always, trying to focus on eye appeal and quality for the type and here to learn more about these classic world crowns through history. Can't wait for what is in store for the rest of the year and of course, 2026!

More highlights to come as the weeks pass by with some PCGS Chinese coins in grading ATM!

Cheers!

Nice pick-ups!

That 1762-Mo Pillar is a nice coin. Was off the market for 60 years

Oh yes sir! One of my favorite acquisitions for April, amidst (or right after) the Central States show!
