- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- This series explores how historic Mexican silver can add spice to your physical precious metals holdings. The first video, Spanish Colonial Treasure, examines the earliest silver bullion and coins minted from the mines of "New Spain", and touches on just a little of the fascinating history of Spanish colonial coins from pirate treasure to colonial America.

I have a slabbed El Cazador shipwreck 8 Reale. I love that you can hold world history in the palm of your hand. ❤
Awesome! I understand the wreck of the El Cazador was so impactful that it contributed to the collapse of Spain's rule in the Americas. Great stuff!!
@WhyteCross Precious Metals and Numismatics Yes sir. It led to the Louisiana Purchase.
Just stumbled on your videos, they are amazing. I will watch the series. Thanks
Hey thanks, @Nukker95! Glad to have you aboard!
Please keep the educational videos coming. I would love to see a video on coins from Spanish shipwrecks.
Excellent-Always interesting , love “the rest of the story” especially the origin of $
I appreciate that. Love learning about this stuff as much as I do sharing it.
Excellent video 👍
One of the best series you’ve done
Yay! Thank you!
Very specific and thorough... signs of a deep understanding of the subject matter.
Thanks, Maurice!!
@@Dub-C_Coins I've been a pure precious metals stacker for a few years. Your information is encouraging me to begin to understand the numismatic world.
@@mauriceorayii2964 That's really neat to hear! I'm working on a series of videos for newer gold buyers with several numismatic options. Those might be a little basic for you, but they do suggest some neat pieces. And I'll get to actual coin collecting videos in the near future!
Did you know Australia’s first money was a Spanish dollar with a hole punched in the middle called a holy dollar , very very rare now , just the bit punched out the middle which was stamped 15 pence the “ dump “ goes for around $1.5K - $15K . Very very interesting .
The Dump & Ring! I had known about that, but not really the specifics until I started studying for this video. What amazes me was the need went all the way back to 1790!
Yes !!!! I love it❤
Thanks, Rob! :) Share it with a friend!
Just subed, love your content. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us!!!
Excellent video. Very intesterting! Can you recommend any books or sources for learning more about conaige of this era? Thanks!
Thanks! Unfortunately the references that I have are outdated and really lacking. There are several that are probably amazing...but they're in Spanish :( One that comes to mind is Las Pruebas de la Moneda Mexicana del Siglo XX by Pablo Luna Herrera
Great …. Now I need more Reales 😮😂👍🏻
They're out there...but you have to dig for them!
I LOVE my Libertads and Mexican coinage. Awesome video. Thanks for the information
Can't wait to get to Onzas and Libertads. Some of my very favorite pieces!
@@Dub-C_Coins definitely some of my favorite pieces as well 😁
Cool Ihave 1776 bronze coins
I'm 56 my dad took me to my first coin& stamp store.
Good for you! We're not too far off in age!!
You have some good information and a good presentation new subscriber here
I’m a stacker and a collector I do like the historical value of old and foreign coin’s
Thanks a ton for the kind words and for subscribing!
@@Dub-C_Coins I’ll binge watch your channel to catch up you do have a lot of interesting information that matches my interest
Thanks for putting your channel up I appreciate the amount of work that goes into making a video
@@patchrat1 Thanks! It's a lot of fun to make a video but yep, it's a LOT of work, too!
i learned alot here !new subscriber here, and nice coins you have ther!!... im trying to learn before i make a big (expensive) purchase... i collected coins when i was a kid (born in 78) i used to save the wheat pennies and mercury dimes i found in pocket change....now im back into collecting, and im interested in silver from collonial times, ( an pirate times)..haha... i want me some peices of 8...gl! ebay they seem expensive and i know ther are alot of counterfiets;...where would you suggest a bigginer such as myself buy a reasonably affordable 8 real (or even 2 real) that is the real deal??
Thanks for subscribing. I mention in one of my earlier videos that one of my most powerful tools is simply to ask your local dealers for what you're after. Often they don't have ready buyers for these more unusual pieces, and they'll be happy to sell them to you! PIRATE TREASURE!!!
sy ada 1kepeng thn 1801 kalau mau belli
Saya percaya itu indah! Tapi saya tidak mengumpulkan koinnya.
Your handling them like you're going to spend them!
Banging them around and such!
Where are the gloves?
Numismatists PPE!
There is a fair amount of discussion about whether gloves can actually be a negative. Especially with fragile surfaces. They cause you to lose sensitivity that may result in dropping pieces. I'm a trained professional :)
@@Dub-C_Coins I was taught that handling them with out gloves will result in the oils of your finger tips would cause discoloration and additional wear and compromise the preservation..
You were taught correctly. Handling coins by the edges, especially coins with little numismatic value, is perfectly fine. Don't touch the face of the coin, store them correctly. But gloves are overkill, in my opinion. @@erikbrantner4295
Looks like you were handling them much more than by the edge and banging them against each other.
That's usually how I handled my pocket change that I'm going to spend!
And gloves are a good way to prevent further damage to a coin...
Especially a very expensive one..
Sort of like going to the museum and setting your coffee cup or a sandwich on one of those old rare pieces of furniture..
Environmental control is also important as to storage..
Too much humidity and exposure to wrong elements such as PVC will do the same damage and reduce the value of these items!@@Dub-C_Coins
Agree to disagree. I'm an 50-year collector, ANA member, NGC member, CAC member, an eBay powerseller for more than a quarter century, and a youtuber with 160,000 watches in the last 12 months. @@erikbrantner4295 But you do you.
These aren't Mexican. Mexico did not exist
I respectfully disagree. Tenochtitlan was renamed "Mexico City" by the 1530s. Only one piece I showed predated that name, and most of the pieces I showed here were literally struck in Mexico City. Additionally, many of the pieces that circulated in the American colonies were struck in England, France, Ireland, and the Netherlands, but they are included in US coin collecting and make up the entire first 50 pages of The Guidebook of *United States* Coins.
