Not 100% thrilled with this batch. 3 No-grades out of 7 
The 1814 Guadalajara at VF30 was a surprise. It's a gorgeous example of the War of Independence issue that I though would get a 40, even at PCGS. I guess they take some points off for die corrosion and a small planchet defect on the reverse. Uruguay piece was my mistake, I think. I remember that I treated it with Blue Ribbon, but can't be sure I removed the residue completely.
Something that will make Shroomster happy, though (can you guess what it is
)?

No pic of the Arnprior, but it has a nice die break. I thought it would grade 61, as well (lots of dings).
