Epic! I’m in the process of venturing into colonial Spanish 8 Reales. Building a basic type set of all portraits, cap and rays, and pillar design. Thanks for sharing
@@tylonnplatinumthe3rd659 amazing how tough these damn things are. I’m also being specific with one particular mint except for my cob type. Focusing on the Mexico City mint “casa de moneda” for all others. Just lost a sweet cob at Sedwicks last night. Still bitter haha
@@667hodge yup, however I’m only doing the basic designs. One pillar dollar, one Carlos III portrait type, one Carlos IIII portrait type, one Ferdinand VII with armored bust, one Ferdinand without armored bust, and one cap and rays. Aside from some minor variety differences (inverted assayer initials, Carlos 4th on Carlos 3rd portrait etc) the above lost covers all major types.
Hi, Ben. I love the Cap & Ray Mexican 8 Reales. I like the Onzas too. The 1949 in MS65 is nice. I like the 1950 Train Cinco Pesos. That is a fav type coin. I love that 1 Peso Gold Coin. I collect Mexican Type Coins. I like the 1910 - 1914 Caballito and the 1921 Dos Pesos Silver Angel of Victory coins. They are also good type coins to collect. *TYU*
The Ho in the ngc 64 holder is a monster. Needless to say I'm a buyer. I have one Ho in 63. Lmk.problem free 4 reales are non existent in Au and above.
Beautiful world coins , people simply don't understand the value of some of them , I personally collect Germanic state 3 Mark's and the value of them in UNC can get pretty expensive
Back in the day it was possible to cherry pick the occasional Proof strike that were labelled BU by the sellers. A famous dealer tried to talk me off one of his own coins Dominican Relublic 1891 5 Centesimos. He informed me that BU coins are readily available. ANACS correctly identified it as a Proof and graded it 64rb. Not until 10 years ago were some of the ZAR coins properly holdered as Proofs. Value is such a tricky thing. As part of a mini hoard I purchased there was a Uruguay set limited to perhaps 50 such sets. Couldn't get $25 for it. I'm a buyer on the Ho in the 64 holder. Lastly, to my eye at least one of the coins that came back "cleaned" weren't so much wiped with a cloth as they were over dipped, all the luster having been removed and leaving the surfaces stripped and looking proof like but extremely dull. But as you correctly pointed no hairlines per se. Did you know the Hungary council was a restrike prior to submission. Awesome and instructive video. In order to show how differently coins can be graded I once sent the same batch of coins to 5 different services (ANACS, NGC, PCGS, ICG and PCI). Talk about instructive. The article appeared in Coin World circa 2000.
@@monedascompravende5753 That too, but notice on the 1949 ONZA, PESO 33.635 GRAMMOS. Same in England as pound means weight as well as a denomination for currency. Same with Lira.
I’m loving those coins so much. Thank you for sharing. I’m mostly in love with 8 reals. That 68 proof was really nice.😊

That’s a great idea for a short set!

@@silversurfer1986 I believe these are the longest running type coin ever,1538-1897.That would be one helluva type set to collect

Some of the old branch mint gold also has that rough texture due to rusty dies ☮️
I like the 40th anniversary coronation restrike,they were minted at the Kremnitz, there's edge lettering on those as well
I love the Mexican and enjoy learning from you. Thank you!
I bought a lot of those 8R's and Pesos in Mexico City back in 1973. 1860 to 1908. They were AU to BU and $2.90 each.
Nice, Meteo. I remember those coins being inexpensive also.

The 8 Reale coins were fun. I never heard of Biafra before. I learned something today!
Wonderful eye appeal!

Human life expectancy is not long enough to collect all examples of the Mexico 8 Reales
Beautiful coins--
That blast white 1949 onza looks like it might be dipped
I’ve found 1 and my co-worker found 1 8Reales coin while working at the trash company.
You ever get any older Ethiopia coins? or older south Africa?
Peso means weight , the weight of the coin.
Very Nice Coins. Those are very nice. I would like to own a circulated one. Thanks
Peso means weight.
no, peso means the national coin of the country.

@@meteoman7958 You are absolutely right
Eight reales are impossible. Does not matter how much money you have.
