Having focused on just a few of my sets, I'm slowly starting to build them out. Here are a few recent NEWP's from Spain. I'll post my images once they arrive.
1809-Mo HJ / TH: Fills a tough over-assayer slot in my Ferdinand VII Armored Bust Set As always, fingers crossed that the coin is lustrous and original, but I have had historically good luck with Soler Y Llach. I like how clear the over-assayer is on this one.
1796-Mo FM from Aureo. Even though I've boycotted Aureo in the past due to the difference between their images and coins in-hand, I have a good feeling about this one. I already own a 1796 example in my Carlos IV Set, but the look of it appealed enough to me to put in a lowball bid that ended-up winning it.
I also buried myself in an 1817 NGC MS61 8 Reales that should arrive here shortly. I paid 3/4 of the MS price, but will most likely end up cracking it out and submitting to PCGS for an AU grade that it really seems to be from seller's images. I liked the toning and luster on it enough to get it, but still nervous because from the images it looks to be an nice AU net graded up to a low MS by NGC, while in hand it could be a hairlined to hell MS61...

I give away money. I collect money.
