Great collections of Bolivian coins...

What a ridiculous thread title! Has anyone ever actually seen a great collection of Bolivian coins? Well, I guess Norweb was pretty good, but where are the rest? For such a fascinating series of coins, you would think somebody else would have taken the challenge!

I only have a half dozen pieces or so, including this one. But the series tempts me!

    Norweb might be the only one...although I would like to see if Pittman bought anything of note.

    Norweb, Pittman, Lustig.

    I agree - very interesting series. I think the lack of interest might stem from the lack of literature on this subject, which is surprising, because this series can make for some fascinating die-marriage / variety study. I keep an eye out for any "stunners", however I have only seen two so far (and one of them is in this thread).

    Maybe the great collections are back in the home country? image

    I suppose anything is possible.
