Nicely done, Roman. Those are some great looking examples. I have been pretty busy too, but not with coins until this week. My NEWP is a 1874/3 DoCM in PCGS AU58. Apparently, it is the plate coin of this type from D&P's Resplandores. I think it's pretty cool.
Hopefully no one will get bored at my repeated posting of these...
1630 8 Reales Royal issue Potosi (Bolivia) NGC AU55. The first dated Royal of the Spanish New World and the finest of 4 extant pieces! An extremely important coin for collectors of Latin America!
1779 8 Escudos Potosi (Bolivia) NGC 63. Finest known for the type and mint. Second year of issue.

Anyone know of any big U.S. dealers into Paraguay coins?

Took a quick picture before I sent it off to PCGS for grading..
1815 Guatemala 8 reales Countermarked by John McKenzie & Son in Scotland as 4 shillings / 6 pence. Just bought it, very rare coin. Here is a link to one sold in 1998 - details in the auction say there are only 25 known.

Thank you, NeoStar. I've picked-up one early toned pillar in the Stack's auction in NYINC (MS61), but haven't received it yet.

Nice! I hope the counterstamp is authentic and it gets into a slab. Keep us updated.
Estado 4 Reales 1851-G, KM20a, XF45 NGC, much original color on this well centered and nearly fully stuck example. The slight flan crudeness is appealing and it is unlikely this example entered circulation. Ex-Amon Carter collection (1988). From The Dana Roberts Collection. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $40 in VF, $175 in EF.
Check out the sunface. It looks more like an alien from Roswell.
That Is what I'm hoping too. Nothing gave the impression that it was fake when I had it in hand. I guess only time will tell with PCGS. I sent it to PCGS because I like the secure plus holders for rare foreign.
I was looking for a nice Canadian 20 cent type coin when I saw this one. It came from Heritage's most recent World Coin Monthly sale. It looks like there may be some color there, and the holder is an older style that I rarely see with a Canadian coin presented reverse side up. Therefore, I shamefully admit that I bought the coin AND the holder. Please show me mercy as I simply could not help myself.

Nope. Sitting in customs. They're probably figuring out how big of an import tax they can hit me with.

Gary, if anyone complains about seeing a nice Royal or mint state Spanish Gold too often - there's something wrong with the hobby
Thanks, Roman!
This example appears to be relatively free of adjustment marks.
