Help with locating a dealer with this type of coin -

Leroy

I'm trying to locate a dealer that has PCGS graded Spanish/Philippine peso's. They come in different denomination's of one, two and four peso. Any help would be appreciated.

There are some collectors and sellers of Philippine coinage here, though whether or not they have the Spanish Philippine material I don't know.

Thanks Robertson, these coins are usually listed for sale ungraded. For some reason they are very hard to find in PCGS holders. I have a few graded by PCGS and would like to add some more to the set so if you see any in your travels please let me know.

I just sold one in NGC plastic a little over a week ago, but it was probably the only one I'll own for a while.

Keep an eye on NEN inventory. They list slabbed pesos from time to time.

Here's the one I sold:

I believe Raymond Czahor is your best bet. He has nearly 50 years experience in Philippine coins, tokens, medals and currency, and is the organizer of the Philippine Collectors Forum, which holds annual meetings at the ANACS Money Show each summer.

From his current Mail Bid Sale closing November 30th, 2011...
LOT 422 PCGS Genuine (filed rims) 1861 One Peso GOLD, "Appears to be a weak strike on the rims, not filing", VF, Minimum Bid: $145
LOT 442 NGC MS64 1882 Alphonso XII 4 Pesos GOLD, "Sharply struck, very few light marks. RARE", Minimum Bid: $5,000
LOTS 423 through 434 are all uncertified GOLD One, Two and Four Pesos dated between 1863 and 1868, including a couple overdates.

In any case, Ray very likely can put you in contact with other dealers or collectors who share your interests. Just bear in mind that he will be quite busy managing his current mail bid until a couple weeks after it closes.
