Cool Type Set - Spanish Empire

Ricke

You gotta love this. In trade for the German States klippe I recently traded to LM, I received a nice coin that actually filled a slot I didn't realize I had... This is one heck of a type set. I think Chile and possibly Columbia will finish the set. Those two are the hardest mints to find, I've seen only a select few Columbian pieces, and they are usually pretty pricey. Chile is easier, but still hard to find and expensive to boot... enough babbling - check out the Carloses! (or is it Carlosi)



Spain - 1801 CN


Bolivia - 1808 PJ


Mexico 1806 TH


Guatemala - 1800 M

And now!

Peru - 1794 IJ

Very cool set, Ricke! Great idea of getting an example of as many mints as you can. Are you only concentrating on Carolus's IV reign?

Nah - I scatter. As far as spanish colonial coins go, I actually lean more often toward the pillar type, but when I added this one to my collection, I realized I had a string. It just turned out that of my better grade examples, all were from different mints.

My collection focus as a whole is a world type set of quarter or quarter sized minors of this general era.




...I have a long way to go.

Very Nice Spanish (Seville?) 2 Reale. I also like the one from Peru. The problem is that you don't see the ones from spain very often and they command a higher premium than the rest.
