WTB: Pillar 1 and 2 reales in high AU/ low MS grades

scubafuel

Hi All, I have a friend who is looking to build a Pillar type set and needs a nice 1 and 2 reales example. AU/MS pieces with a full strike. Anyone have something like that for sale?

Just to give you an idea of what you are asking about.

Will not be easy to find most are ion long term collections and very few exists in those grades to start with (the exception been 8 reales). There can be a whole year before even 1 coin shows up in AU/MS grades. Just look at the population reports for PCGS and NGC. I collected 1 reales for almost 5 years and only ever owned one in MS grade (I saw a few over those years for sale).

Many dates do not even exist in those grades (that goes for Mexico as well).

Even in EF grades they are not easy at all. The easiest would be in order: Mexico, Bolivia, Peru then Guatemala. Forget about Chile or Colombia those are super expensive and ultra rare.

I am also selling of of Mexico's legendary coins. First year of milled coinage in the New World....

I also have the 3rd highest 1732 milled Mexico 1 real. Only 9 are known to exist per Yonaka and they only show up for sale once every few years or more. NGC VG-10 (2 are graded higher):
