What Latin American series will you be taking on the future?

Curious what you guys have as long term goals if any? Me will stick with early milled 1 reales and also do the Peru early milled 2 reales. Cannot say I will add anything new series yet but if I do my guess would be Peru early milled 4 reales (if ever I come close to finishing off my earlier goals). I still have at least 5-10 years with my current goals so will determine the next move in about 5 years from now (depending on what prices have gone up and by how much will be a main factor).

I’ve actually been pondering this for a bit now. With world coins, my “strategy” has always been to not have a strategy……I’ve basically just been picking up pieces with what I consider to be excellent eye appeal here and there and off and on for 20+ years now.
I’ve loved “going deep” into various US coin series, and have assembled a few decent sets along the way. Never that type of focus or direction with non US coins.
Definitely been feeling the pull recently though. I am down to 8 coins needed to complete my US 7070 registry. Not going to rush anything there, but I think my first non US set or some type of focused collecting endeavor is somewhere on the horizon.
Easy to get ideas from seeing what you guys post!
I would like to get into imitation cobs. Every time I'm about to bid I see a Mexican coin I'm more interested in, but one of these days...
I am surprised not more people seem to be into collecting cobs. I may be wrong but at least on this forum there seems to be not many. They are great historical numismatic coins. The book on Cobs is a great book to own (there are some for sale for 20$ on eBay by SedwickCoins).
It seems like there’s a fair amount of dislike for cobs among some collectors. I did a post a little while back that illustrated some level of disdain.
I'm BACK!!! Used to be Billet7 on the old forum.
I wonder why? The odd shapes of the coins maybe. The royals are very interesting but not cheap.
They’re rough, missing many elements most of the time, especially the later dates. Some people will find it annoying, others charming. 🤷♂️
