Re: Let’s see your new purchases!
I just got a few of my new and "new old" purchases back from PCGS. Overall happy with the results except this is my last time I send them Swiss specimen coins. They used to be really good at grading these, really good. They have lost there way the past couple of years. My Swiss dealer has even offered to sit with them to… -

It's easy to see why you got fired up, I wouldn't expect to find the 1791 Chile 2 Reales at a small local show. Nice pick up on both. As mentioned, nice Spanish Colonial material sure does seem to have evaporated from the market as of late. -
Re: Let’s see your new purchases!
Here is one I added in May 2025. Yonaka says only 208 were minted (some say here that is not correct and maybe 2000 or so were minted guess we will never truly know for sure). There are no known examples of the first year 1751 and every date after 1752 the mintages are 37 000 up to 271 000 coins per year. Yonak'a book… -

Took a 2 point drop with our hosts after cracking. I thought it would 65. Win some lose some. Really like the coin as there’s a tinge of cobalt iridescence the TV isnt really picking up. Now PR 64 RB
