MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 01/21/2012 4:21 pm This one is a 8 soles from Bolivia, after the country got freed from spain by Simon Bolivar. This one fits well in my goal of getting a post-spanish coin from each south american country :) Mathieu Report this Post to the Staff

mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1894 Posts	Posted 01/23/2012 10:00 am Sure; happy to show it. The book I have indicates it is the first year for the type. Please excuse my poor table top photography. This coin shows very little wear and still has luster. Actual size= 38mm. Report this Post to the Staff
MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 01/23/2012 10:35 am Wow, yours is better than mine for sure :) It's a beautiful example. Both seems to have a weak strike though (strong strike are very scarce for this type) And you are right, the date you own is the first year for this coin ! Here is a "complete" one : http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/B...S_JM_8_soles Report this Post to the Staff

revere456 New Member Bolivia 7 Posts	Posted 08/18/2012 12:00 pm Here is my version of the coin I recently bought. Do any of you know if this is genuine? It has some toning but also some nice detail. There are also letters on the coin edge, one side says "SUCRE" the capital of bolivia, I am guessing your coins also have some of this edge markings? Report this Post to the Staff
