The first two are "quarter-sized" coins that I got in a trade with Dan (coinpictures) a few months back. Despite Dan's excellent photography (which you can see in the links to the bigger pics), these pieces DO look a tad better in hand. The Salzburg has more depth in the faintly prooflike fields than the picture indicates, and the Peruvian piece is nice and bright in hand with more luster than the photo indicates. Both are lovely coins, which I traded him a (single) lovely coin for. I was thinking of slabbing these but never got 'round to it. I pretty much only slab stuff when I can submit it in person at shows, and I only do one show a year, usually. So here these are. I need more money for Roman coins.
Salzburg 4 kreuzer, 1730, BU and semi-prooflike.
Dan let me have this for $100 in trade. He swears it has eBay potential, and I can't disagree. I might go that route if it doesn't sell. Krause only lists this as high as XF (books $30 in XF, I think), but a BU ought to be worth a hundred. It's yours for that plus shipping. Let's call it $102 delivered.

Peru 2 Reales, 1794-IJ, EF45 to AU50, lustrous.
To quote Dan:
<< <i>Some might call it EF45, but I think it has enough lustre to call AU. Lots of eye appeal; I really like it. Krause only goes as high as $65 in EF. I would call this an $80-90 example. >>
I agree. I cannot swear that it was never cleaned, but it has superior eye appeal and really nice luster in hand, which does not show in the pictures. How about $90 delivered?

You know, this was a set I purchased, glanced at, and then put it away without every really properly appreciating it. Has to contain one of the best ship coins ever minted.

Looks more P/L in the scan than in hand, note that there is a "lint mark" on the left side of the neck.
There are a lot of cast fakes from this date (and 1869 as well, on the other hand the 1888/89 fakes are struck), i think the coin is in a grade that don't raise any suspicions, but will try to send a scan of the coins edge if desired.
"scans":
If i didn't scare everyone on buying this coin, the price is 340 Euro/480 US$ with registrated shipping included (and insurance if possible/desired).
Thanks for looking,
Jose
same general condition. will trade for us coins.
thanks for looking!
