A 1792 Colombian 1/2R of course, finest graded at pcgs for the type which doesn’t mean much. The issue is more rare the the famous 1792 half disme in all likelihood and costs $149,500 less in AU55!

boosibri - Neat.

It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
Nice coin... Congrats. Think of all the other coins you can buy with the difference.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I like it. Very nice pick up! Congrats.
Cool coin...
The switch to collecting foreign coins will gain momentum as more and more US collectors come to the conclusion that US coins are a poor value for the money.
First to Boosibri - nice coin! I like it a lot.
I've found a number of very low mintage coins and proof sets that have low market prices. Beautiful coins with rarity but little demand - at least at this time. One example - simply look north to Canada.

Cool.
Nice one Boosibri. I couldn't find any 1/2R's at the NY International last week.

Or maybe they start to collect something else...not sure how you can come to this conclusion...
Shhhhh, we don't want anyone to know about those low mintage coins to the north. Keep it secret, keep it safe.
I believe in 1792, half real was spelled, "half reasl."

Any coin from the 1700's (or earlier) is a very cool coin to own... Cheers, RickO
I am looking forward to watching the "1792 Half Dismes of the New World" collection grow!
