What do you think about Spanish Colonials?

I've been collecting coins since last september and am starting to get bored of U.S. Series. (With exception to the large cent). What do you think of Spanish Colonials such as 18th century Reales? Also how do you feel about British Florins?

Like 'em.

Especially as metal detector finds, in the case of Spanish colonials. You've got a lot of different mints and such there, to make 'em interesting.

What's not to like with either one?

Come to the Darkside. We have milk and cookies.

(Dug that one up, along with a 1776.)

That's not very long to tire of such a vast range of coins! Whatever you do next, don't be surprised if you tire of it quickly as well.

Anyway, Spanish Colonials are great to collect. Lots of bargains, lots of challenging coins and lots left to discover.

Thank you for sharing Lord M. I really like the tone on that Florin.

Here is the reverse of an 1821 Zacatecas 8R that I scored from DeiGratia not to long ago.
