Just a couple of inexpensive pick-ups from the recent Hervera sale:
1821 Zacatecas 8 Reales. Neat error - superscript "s" on the reverse was punched into the die after 8 instead of Z (Normal legend would read Zs 8R, not Z8sR).
1810 Mexico 8 Reales. I liked the die clash.

<< <i>Do you have a specific theme (country, mint, bust) or simply anything that meets the quality threshold? >>
I've narrowed it down to portrait series Mexico (if you can call this narrowing it down). I want to put together at least a year-mintmark set for War of Independence issues from major Royalist and Insurgent mints. Those W4I issues is what get me started in numismatics and I want to specialize in that area going forward.

<< <i>I could swear I've seen you post more than "50 pieces or so" to this forum alone, for which I am grateful. You obviously have a very nice collection going. >>
I've probably posted well over a hunred on the forums over the last 5+ years. Most were either in my posession at the time, or just curious examples being offered by someone else. 90% of my collection can be seen by clicking on the link in my signature.

Whoa! 14,000+ views! As I stated earlier, very nice collection.
<< <i>Just back from Summer FUN (picked up an 1803 Potosi 8 Reales in CH AU) and checked the final bids. Still awaiting confirmation through email, it appears that I won lots 450 and 451 Marti Hervera. 1768 and 1770 Potosi 2 Reales, both the rare variety with no point above the PTS monogram. It's too bad that their site nor sixbid show you when you've won >>
Glad to see you out and about (pronounced oot and aboot here and Canada ), Gary! Grats on the potosi acquisitions.

Whoa, just saw the number of views myself. I thought I was still around 9000 like last year. Self-promotion seems to work

<< <i>Kind of deceptive, if you ask me. Paul Karon told me to be careful when bidding at Soler y Llach auctions. Are you going to send it back or keep it? >>
This one was from Aureo.
I'm yet to receive Soler y Llach coins and my experience with them has been positive in the past.

Grats! They are sneaky - I didn't receive any confirmation or invoices, but my credit card was charged.

Zacatecas piece will require closer inspection. Even though it's a variety documented by Calbeto, something's not sitting quite right with me.
Here's the image of the 1810. Really digging the die clash. Zacatecas pics will follow shortly.
