The Albania set is something Ive seen only once or twice but broken apart as singles so Im quite happy with this set all with great deep proof stikes. The rest I picked out going through the bucket, its amazing what people throw away(melt) these days.

I learned a lot just from reading the few replies on this thread. Love these message boards. Thanks for posting everyone.

DCAM proofs, and one of them HUGE? Can't beat that. Cool design, too.
I just got four colonial 8-reales pieces- one a Pillar Dollar- for what I believe to be significantly LESS than spot!
I think they're real, but all were polished. One heinously so. That one has chopmarks all over it, too. But for the money...
I haven't kept abreast of spot price for several months. I got these for 15 bux a pop. Spanish colonial 8-reales pieces melt for more than that, right? I couldn't turn 'em down. Particularly as the Pillar piece has surprisingly sharp detail. I'll try to image and post them later.
