Nicely done, Roman. Those are some great looking examples. I have been pretty busy too, but not with coins until this week. My NEWP is a 1874/3 DoCM in PCGS AU58. Apparently, it is the plate coin of this type from D&P's Resplandores. I think it's pretty cool.
Hopefully no one will get bored at my repeated posting of these...
1630 8 Reales Royal issue Potosi (Bolivia) NGC AU55. The first dated Royal of the Spanish New World and the finest of 4 extant pieces! An extremely important coin for collectors of Latin America!
1779 8 Escudos Potosi (Bolivia) NGC 63. Finest known for the type and mint. Second year of issue.
Anyone know of any big U.S. dealers into Paraguay coins?
Thanx
have some very high grade 1870 centisimo's 4.2.1.

Took a quick picture before I sent it off to PCGS for grading..
1815 Guatemala 8 reales Countermarked by John McKenzie & Son in Scotland as 4 shillings / 6 pence. Just bought it, very rare coin. Here is a link to one sold in 1998 - details in the auction say there are only 25 known.

Thank you, NeoStar. I've picked-up one early toned pillar in the Stack's auction in NYINC (MS61), but haven't received it yet.

Nice! I hope the counterstamp is authentic and it gets into a slab. Keep us updated.
Estado 4 Reales 1851-G, KM20a, XF45 NGC, much original color on this well centered and nearly fully stuck example. The slight flan crudeness is appealing and it is unlikely this example entered circulation. Ex-Amon Carter collection (1988). From The Dana Roberts Collection. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $40 in VF, $175 in EF.
Check out the sunface. It looks more like an alien from Roswell.
That Is what I'm hoping too. Nothing gave the impression that it was fake when I had it in hand. I guess only time will tell with PCGS. I sent it to PCGS because I like the secure plus holders for rare foreign.
I was looking for a nice Canadian 20 cent type coin when I saw this one. It came from Heritage's most recent World Coin Monthly sale. It looks like there may be some color there, and the holder is an older style that I rarely see with a Canadian coin presented reverse side up. Therefore, I shamefully admit that I bought the coin AND the holder. Please show me mercy as I simply could not help myself.

Nope. Sitting in customs. They're probably figuring out how big of an import tax they can hit me with.

Gary, if anyone complains about seeing a nice Royal or mint state Spanish Gold too often - there's something wrong with the hobby

Thanks, Roman!
This example appears to be relatively free of adjustment marks.
