I know the feeling, my resolution didn't even last until the 2nd.

The Central American? Thanks, that's one of my favorite coin designs. I picked it up from Civitas, along with the hammered colonial-

1831 Honduras 2 reale-

1536-56 Mexico City 1 reale-

Just got back from the Raleigh, NC show. As I was browsing I came across these, and the prices were good!

Would this qualify as a Crusty CirCam, LordM?-

My first coin with chopmarks, looks cleaned next to the other but for $12 I couldn't pass on it.

It actually feels better now that I've officially opened this new area in my collection, we'll just sit back and see where it goes from here.

Really like that toning on the 1844 cap and rays!

My resolution lasted until January 8th.

The 8 Reales are nice hunks of early silver.

Well, there's always next year!

Thanks, the seller had several lustery beauties, but this crusty old thing just spoke to me.

I usually take sort of a 'type set' attitude toward collecting, but had to get the chopped one, too. I've been browsing VCoins and CoinArchives for ideas and found a few that I may pursue, when the budget allows.
