Peru 1752 1/2, 1, 2 & 4 reales mintages
I know what Yonaka states in his book 1/2 = not mentioned the exact number (he has seen less than 10) 1 = 424 minted (he has seen less than 10) 2 reales = 208 minted (he has seen less than 10) 4 reales = 81 minted (he has never seen any but mentions maybe 1 exists) I would like to know what you long term collectors think… -
Re: Peru 1752 1/2, 1, 2 & 4 reales mintages
I haven't counted but I recall most of the above sales, plus a few more. I've seen the 1752 1R the most, but didn't keep track of specific sales. I've probably seen the 1/2R slightly less than the 2R but consider it about equally scarce. So, to answer your next question. I consider the 1/2R and 2R about equally scarce and… -
Re: Peru 1752 1/2, 1, 2 & 4 reales mintages
ANS Mantis lists two 1/2R and one 2R. None for the 1R. I don't know if all of their pillars are catalogued. I still intend to visit to request an inspection of the collection but have not been able. -
Re: Peru 1752 1/2, 1, 2 & 4 reales mintages
What is the rarest 1752? In what order would you place all 4 denominations? I am 100% sure the 4 reales is #1 but what about the other 3? I like the 1752's maybe one day I will complete a date set of them minus the 4 reales obviously. I would also buy the 8 reales if I did the date set. -

Re: Peru 1752 1/2, 1, 2 & 4 reales mintages
At least 10 times the recorded mintage in Yonaka. Same for the 1R and maybe for the 1/2R. I've never seen or heard of a 4R and Yonaka mentions one rumored out of 81 minted. I've seen most or all of the above coins, and others too, I think. Sellshopp and Patterson catalogs include it, though I can't remember or don't know… -
Re: Peru 1752 1/2, 1, 2 & 4 reales mintages
Maybe, but that's not relevant to me or anyone trying to put together any decent quality collection given the quality you're implying which is what I see too. Has this coinage ever been demonetized? Ponterio Associates once told me Bolivia pillars circulated into the 20th century which I infer is up to at least 1909 since… -
Re: Peru 1752 1/2, 1, 2 & 4 reales mintages
My problem is that at least 7 1752 2 reales are known to Yonaka. How can 7 or more have survived with a mintage of 208. Maybe 2000 were minted or something like that. Do not get me wrong they are all very rare not taking that away just feels off to me. Seems like the 1752 2 reales shows up every 5-10 years (SimonW has been… -
Re: Peru 1752 1/2, 1, 2 & 4 reales mintages
I was talking about the 2 reales in this case but the topic is for all of the 1752 minus the 8 reales. How many 1752 2 reales have you seen over the years WCC and how about the other 3 denominations? -
Re: Peru 1752 1/2, 1, 2 & 4 reales mintages
One could argue that coins in South/Central America were worked to the bone and thus survived more than expected. Hence Carlos & Juana coinage getting El Salvador counterstamps in the early-mid 1800s......
