Won this 1894 Guatemala peso the other day. Really looking forward to getting this one in hand.
As with most everything else in the Dark Side realm, I’m a work in progress. One thing I do know is that original skinned lightly circulated material with this general look is right in my wheelhouse.


I’d love to see some of the cool c/s stuff you guys have in your collections. Post em here if you got em!

Nice coin!
Here is the only MS Jamaica 6S8P

And a special Chiloe Peso, one of two known and the last Spanish Colonial coin struck in South America

Latin American Collection
@MEJ7070 fantastic eye appeal
Here is one I recently picked up, a Mexican War of Independence insurgent cast 2 reales with the Suprema Junta casting stamp. I was very glad to get it, the denomination is rare to begin with and most are in very rough shape.
Not sure if I've posted this one before but it's both counterstamped and punched.
