North/South/Central American Coins Thursday, let's see them!

TwoKopeiki · May 17, 2012 11:46AM

Nice counterstamp!

Here's my recent newp from another thread.

TwoKopeiki · May 17, 2012 11:48AM

And a couple of re-images:

A Heritage image when it was in an ANACS XF40 holder. I cracked it out and PCGS graded it an XF45.

TwoKopeiki · May 25, 2012 1:21AM

Great looking Costa Rican! Congrats on the upgrade.

OldEastside · May 25, 2012 5:54AM

That is sweet, I like it

Steve

JoesMaName · May 27, 2012 11:38PM

Beautiful Costa Rican indeed.
Good move cracking it out for the upgrade too. I think for a time ANACS tried so hard to get respect that they actually under graded many coins, you have to see them in hand though, as there are many stinkers as well, and yes - plenty are on the money.

WWW · May 28, 2012 12:39AM

A Heritage image when it was in a NGC AU53 holder. I cracked it out and PCGS graded it a AU50.

TwoKopeiki · June 27, 2012 10:16AM

Gary has been yeti for a while - really hope all is well.

Here's my new AU 1794 8 Reales from Craig Keplinger with a neat strikethrough.

LochNESS · June 28, 2012 7:02PM

So, I know Thursday ended approx. 6 hours ago but here's an Ecuador specimen. Top pop of 35 known:

Man oh man I'm breaking inside, I have just found out the very sad news about our Gary aka Ocho Reales

Here's one of my own in his memory!

TwoKopeiki · July 12, 2012 11:22PM

<< Man oh man I'm breaking inside, I have just found out the very sad news about our Gary aka Ocho Reales

Yeah

I don't have a Bolivian, but this is a new Mexican:

<< Oh my. Many of these coins have rays, my weakest spot!

Some are gold. That's bad for me too!

I will post my one Mexican Gold coin...hopefully it's not too close on the tails of my last post of this coin!

No rays on this coin, but I think the Aztec Calendar is mighty fine! >>

Gotta love those 20 peso's

Not even close to being Thursday, but here's a NEWP in NGC AU50 that some of you might like regardless of the day.

LochNESS · October 21, 2012 10:33AM

*LIKE* the reverse design a lot. Obv reminds me of Peru libertad design

TwoKopeiki · January 17, 2013 4:14AM

I've been having horrible luck with auctions lately, but I still might be able to add a few crusties to this thread later tonight.

TwoKopeiki · January 17, 2013 9:18AM

Here's a colorful AU I picked-up a few weeks ago.

LochNESS · January 17, 2013 1:23PM

Love the toning. The fields are so bright behind the pillars it really makes them pop (and it's my favorite part of the design).

OldEastside · May 2, 2013 1:01AM

Hoping for some new candy on one of my favorite threads

Steve

brg5658 · May 2, 2013 1:10AM

This one hasn't made it to this thread yet. I bought this one for myself as a birthday present back in 2011.

OGDan · May 2, 2013 3:08AM

That is fabulous brg!

TwoKopeiki · May 2, 2013 4:12AM

I remember that one, Brandon. Great looking coin!

TwoKopeiki · June 6, 2013 11:03AM

Just in time for Thursday.

Unpacked my macro lens for some glamor shots of these two raw newps with a touch of color.

OGDan · June 6, 2013 3:00PM

Nice! That is one sweet die crack on the 1813!

TwoKopeiki · June 6, 2013 9:06PM

<< Nice! That is one sweet die crack on the 1813! >>

Thanks, Dan. It's the 3rd die crack in that location I've seen so far on different years (although all of them were on a Fernando VII draped coins). That 1813 is from MCC. I was worried about obverse hairlines, but very few on this example.

OGDan · June 7, 2013 1:49AM

Speaking of die cracks, this is an interesting example. See how the obverse die crack through Carolus defines a boundary between how the luster reflects? It's similar but different to your 1813, where the portion to the left of the die crack is more softly struck (obverse and reverse) than the portion to the right.

OldEastside · July 11, 2013 12:02AM

So at todays prices, what might I expect to pay for one of these in a PCGS holder?

Steve

OldEastside · October 3, 2013 12:07AM

No pics but I did get a 1935 King Gearge V Canadian Dollar and a 1957 5 Peso Mexico Constitution this week

Steve

brg5658 · October 3, 2013 2:24AM

Here are two newish small pieces.

determined · October 3, 2013 9:31AM

Incredible coins in this thread. Just awesome!

Here's a favorite of mine. Lady Liberty is graceful and beautiful on these Argentinian coins.

And no wonder, it was done by the very talented French sculptor and medal engraver Eugene Andre Oudine.

1883 50 Centavos

WWW · October 3, 2013 10:02AM

One of my favorite threads on this forum. Here's one that I just won.

TwoKopeiki · October 31, 2013 9:33AM

It's been a while since I bought a new coin, but I saw this pillar and really liked the look of it. Plus I was missing a Ferd VI for the type set.

Here are some quick pics:

OldEastside · November 1, 2013 12:05AM

Nice pickup

Steve

TwoKopeiki · November 2, 2013 3:05AM

Thanks, Steve!

Zohar · November 2, 2013 5:30AM

Very nice. You coming to NYINC?

TwoKopeiki · November 2, 2013 6:14AM

<< Very nice. You coming to NYINC? >>

Thanks, Z. This year is actually a strong possibility, unless I decide to go spear fishing somewhere south. What would help if there was a Big Data / Data Governance / Marketing Analytics conference in NYC at the same time

TwoKopeiki · November 21, 2013 5:27AM

PCGS gave it a well deserved AU50.

Bump for another Thursday!!!

OldEastside · December 18, 2013 2:07AM

I know its early

but its been almost a month

Steve

TwoKopeiki · December 18, 2013 2:18AM

Steve, you got my hopes up! I thought there was a new coin posted

There were some new additions to Mexico 8 Reales sets by other registry participants, but I don't think they post on the forums all that much.

Perhaps OriginalDan have some eye-candy for us

???

TwoKopeiki · December 18, 2013 2:53AM

Here are a few raw pieces I picked-up in the recently closed auctions across the pond. I'm hoping the first one turns out to be the over-assayer variety for that year and the bottom one is MS without too many hairlines. Hard to tell from the image, since the light was bounced off the surface, but the description was S/C (vs S/C- that's often used by Herrero to identify low-grade MS).

1806
