EDITED to CORRECT the offer.

Nice fresh hardbound catalogs. Astounding coins. The best Spanish and Spanish colonial auction I’ve ever attended. First replies get them for a donation to Soi Dog.

$50 takes one of each. Or $25 for the single duplicate.

    Don't you already have these???

    Anyway, do you want just the two, or all three?

    I don’t know his name but he was a Calicó client. Bought exclusively through him. Although my understanding is that he was reasonably well known at the time.

    @pruebas he was a Cuban collector who left after Castro (removed the collection from the island inside a flower pot!). As far as the name...

  • AbueloAbuelo Posts: 1,758 ✭✭✭✭✭

    But was a superb sale.

  • AbueloAbuelo Posts: 1,758 ✭✭✭✭✭

    BTW @pruebas , unrelated issue, but do you own the Mexico 1869 peso pattern?

    @Abuelo one of the Caballero de las Yndias catalogs is Cuba. I guess that makes sense.

    I do own an 1869-Mo Peso pattern. One in silver (large LEY, see below) and one each of the large and small LEY in copper.

    I know of a nicer silver specimen, but it’s impounded in a large collection. There are a few of the coppers floating around. All come rather beat up unfortunately.

    Why do you ask?

  • AbueloAbuelo Posts: 1,758 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @pruebas I found an on line mention to the pattern and guessed, who else would have it? So I asked... Man, one day I wish I had a collection like yours.

  • AchoriAchori Posts: 84 ✭✭✭

    Great catalog! @pruebas The collection was built by 2 brothers who lived in Cuba, one of them was the numismatist and the other was the investor. One of the brothers started to build the collection in 1940s. The family kept Growing the collection over the years until the auction in 2009, when they decided to sell. A very intesting story is that when the Castro Revolution started, they hid the collection inside a flower pot and covered it with concrete. After that they sent the collection to the US for safety.
