How did anyone do at Stacks today?

I think I got the 1697 6d in 63, and the 1806 Penny in PF65, but of course the way their system is set up you can't really tell yet.

A lot of the CHinese stuff, even cleaned and hairlined, seemed to sell for well over estimates. But then again it's hard to tell what it will do at any point and some of the estimates seemed unreasonably low in several areas.

One for one. Lot 63. 1773 Bolivia 1/2 Real CH XF. First and only one seen in this condition seen in 7 years! I paid through the nose but am happy, nevertheless!

The two I picked up:

1697 6d in MS63, a slightly weaker than normal strike on the obverse and some adjustment marks on the reverse, but not a bad coin for the 17th C.

Disregarding what is on the label, is it copper or bronzed? I was thinking it might be copper from the colour. The ship looks uncharacteristically sharp, though the defective 1 & 0 make it either P1326 or 7, so at least the Peck type is right.

It does not show the type on the slab as far as I know, I am guessing 1326 since the bronzed is more common. Like you I am not sure until I get it in hand, the high res pictures do show 3 forestays and with the broken 1 and 0 it must be one of the two mentioned.

I looked at the coin and almost bid on it. Very nice coin--appears bronzed to me, but I am no expert on these. There was something going on with the edge milling that I was leary about, so I didn't bid. I hope I was wrong.

I was able to win a couple of 8 reales that were common and lower on my want list. The top of my want list went for more that I was comfortable paying. The graded mexican 8 reale market is still healthy and going strong.
