    I would say Brazil is the most popular. Don't know about the least.

    I would agree with Ajaan on Brazil, although I assume Argentina and Chile have strong collector bases due to their large European communities. If you include all of Latin America, then Mexico or Cuba might compete for the top spot. Least popular would have to be Guyana or Suriname!

    Brazil is definitely the most popular, but if you include the colonial types Bolivia, Peru and Chile are close contenders.

    I'd agree with Filam on Guyana and Suriname as least popular.

    I think it all depends if you're talking pre, or post-Spanish colonization. Peru, Guatemala and Bolivia colonies are highly collectible. Once they got their independence - it's a different story.

    Oh my, I do not think so, especially for Peru. Peru and the other two nations have a very diverse and desirable history of post-colonial coinage.
    Guyana and Suriname do not really come into their own until the relatively recent past. Of the older Latin American independent states, Paraguay may be the most underappreciated.

    I would have to agree with Harasha on this one; With an honorable mention to Uruguay.

    Well, I wondered how much over $100 I would get for this. Seems to be pretty popular...CAR

    Edited to add: Oh, I say, strong finish!
