I totally agree with you! Roamn, where are you! Let's post a rare variety of a South American coin and I am sure he will comment!

OchoReales

Happy to oblige!

1767 Bolivia (PTS) 8 Reales NGC AU55 (finest known) My Whittier EF45 is the 6 petal rosette variety, this one is the four petal variety! RRRRR

TwoKopeiki

Gorgeous pillar, Gary! You should post your 6 petal one of these days.

Hey, Dan was right - it got my attention

OchoReales

Hope this works, Roman. I haven't done this in a year!

1767 8 Reales Potosi (Bolivia) 6 Petal Variety Whittier Speciman RRRRR

One of my Chanukah presents that just arrived;

1630 8 Reales Royal issue Potosi (Bolivia). The first dated Royal of all South and Central America, one of four known and I'm told, the finest!
NGC AU 55



Enjoy! I am!

TwoKopeiki

Makes you wonder about the significance of the 6 petal rosette. It would have been so much easier to just use the same 4 petal punch used everywhere else on the coin, but they made a punch just for that flower.

Thank you for posting it, Gary!

Where is that jaw dropping icon? That is quite a present! Your own Royal - how cool is that?

OchoReales

Pretty cool. The other thing more cool is getting a dual present!

1779 8 Escudos Potosi (Bolivia) NGC 63. supposedly, the finest 8E of Chas. III (Potosi). Second year of issue!

OchoReales

If there was a way to trade for health, I'd be getting a bargain! The good news is that, since I quit Chemo in August and began juicing again, my latest PET scan results show all my numbers going down except for one area. YEA!!!
