NEWP - thanks, Zohar!

Zohar tipped me off about this one being up for sale and I ended-up pulling the trigger. Common date, less than common grade, plus I didn't have an 1803 FT in my registry set. Based on PCGS photos it appears there's a bit of color, as well.

Thanks again, Z!

Here are seller's images and PCGS image that was taken for CoinFacts:

Glad you went for it. Let us know how it looks in hand.

Thanks Bill!

Z, I will definitely reassemble my macro camera set-up when this one comes-in

Yowza!

Nice CoinFacts image. Before I read that, I was thinking, "Wow, nice picture. Looks like a TrueView without the background wallpaper."

And I guess it is.

Looks like that ones gonna have a lot of lustre, especially on the reverse.

JCMhouston · March 15, 2013 4:49AM

That looks like a really extraordinary strike, congrats.

Very nice, congrats.

The Carolus dates are great. Love those pillars!

My want-list pick is the Bolivia 1811 PTS PJ 8 Reales (Ferdinand VII) KM-84.

TwoKopeiki · March 15, 2013 12:37PM

Thanks, everybody! Pretty excited about this one

I'll keep an eye for the 1811, but have you seen the 1807 and 1820 from Potosi, both in MS63, coming up at Heritage?

LochNESS · March 15, 2013 12:52PM

I have not had a chance to go through the upcoming lots, no! Thanks for the tip!

MilkmanDan · March 15, 2013 3:41PM

That's a great piece, congrats!

Great looking coin.

Love it!

Thanks, Dan. I think it compliments well the 1816 in MS63 you sold me a few years back at CICF. Quite a few folks have helped me put my collection together, to think of it - both forum members and numismatists I've had the pleasure to meet in-person. You folks are a great bunch

Primo pieces, guys!

dizzlecc · March 18, 2013 10:54AM

very solid looking coin, nice addition to the collection.

jayPem · March 18, 2013 12:51PM

That's awesome !
I was just looking through your set the other day...very enjoyable and inspiring !

TwoKopeiki · April 2, 2013 12:43PM

Finally received the coin and it's a nice solid 63 with a few small hairlines. The coin has clean fields and a full bright lustre with colour really popping when tilted towards the light. Here are a couple of pics I quickly snapped with my camera. Not sure what kind of lights Phil used for the CoinFacts image, but they must be warmer since I can't see the same intensity of colour with my OTT Lite set-up.

Zohar · April 2, 2013 12:45PM

I like!

MilkmanDan · April 2, 2013 2:26PM

That coin is minty fresh!

NEWP - thanks, Zohar!
