All over it!
I'm a poor man, and I can't compete against too many bidders.
Seriously though, does anyone besides me think some of the estimates are on the low side?
Justhavingfun, you have a PM.
As to your having drawn even more attention to this catalog,
THANKS FOR NOTHING!!!

I guess that mean every man for himself?

Where? How do I look them up on ebay?
An 1808 8 Reales in NGC MS64 (which would have hard time crossing to PCGS, since they duck points on strike weakness) with some nice obverse toning:
And an 1814 8 Reales in AU:
I'm planning to bid strongly on the 1814, since I suspect that 1808 to go for moola money.

I find it comical that they would duck points on strike weakness, as these things are not typically razor sharp strikes. It probably means they have the US graders grading these when you submit them or cross coins, as they don't know what they are looking at and the nuances of the series. LOTS of US coin series are known to not have razor sharp strikes for a general rule, and plenty still make MS66-68 as the graders know this fact and don't hold it against them too much. who is the finalizer for these, maybe they need an email from you?
Bear in mind that if NGC graded that anytime in the not too distant past, Ken Krah saw it and he certainly knows strike quality and other things better than almost anyone out there.
kinda like when I submitted a half-dozen 1902 matte proof GB Crowns together here. i won't get started on that one, it upsets me still. Point is, only people that are skilled enough to know the series, should be grading the coins.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Meanwhile, for those of you who collect the series, Mr. Wondercoin will soon be putting up for sale, on Teletrade, some neat US-Philippines coins from friends in Manila.
Best wishes,
Just Having Fun

Thanks, I'll make sure my Teletrade wantlist is up to date, and perhaps opened up a bit, in order to ensure I receive timely notice.

IF???

I pick the Mother Nature "drawn" Peso over one of JHF's favorite oil paintings.

It was the 1927M NGC MS66 5 Centavos, which was paired with another coin in which I had no interest, an NGC MS66 McArthur 50 Centavos.
Goldberg Estimate was $400 - $500, though bidding started at $525 and finished at $700.
Final damage after buyer's premium, sales tax and shipping is $882.36.
Since it was not pictured in the catelog, I will attempt to do it justice with photographs and post it in this forum when I get it in hand.
