    I can't speak/read spanish so here's a shot, 20yr independence for peru.

    Yeap, Peru. The obverse reads: "Free Lima JCRO - Its Independence on July 28 of 1821". The reverse reads: "Under the protection of the freeing military (or forces) sent by Saint Martin 1849".

    It looks really nice!

    It's Hard to believe most of the coins I buy wound up in PA!

    Where do you go hunting? Seriously, local dealers? Flea markets? Antique malls?

    I know the feeling, often - but then I wonder if it's because there are so many floating around to be found in any State ...
