Lets see some 8 Reales

Sweet. Love this type!

Did Andy start this collecting trend here or was it someone else?

Other designs of the 8R

Here's the obverse of my Peruvian piece of 8...

Hey, lucky timing. I just bought my first cob tonight, and it's a nice chunky 8R.

Not my first piece of eight, but my first cob of any denomination, unless you count the coblike 1658 4-maravedis piece I dug while detecting at a Spanish mission site on St. Simons Island. But that is copper.

I like the beveled look of the flan.




PS- y'all are absolutely slayin' me with those toners. The OP coin combines lovely design AND lovely toning, but that's no surprise, considering the lovely lass who posted it.

Not for the first time, a Boiler78 coin has completely seared my retinas. Wow, wow, and WOW.

I love love tokens, and that's a great one!

This coin is graded PCGS AU53. The photos are courtesy of Coin Rarities Online.
