Dr Jones New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 10:22 pm Just purchased a Bolivia 1883PTS EF 20 Centavos piece. It is listed in Krause as being rare, with only 3-5 pieces known. The regular strike correctly displays the essayers initials as FE. I have checked the Heritage Auction archives and do not see where they have sold one. Can anybody tell me more about the history of this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

NGC says so as well, yet the price it lists is similar to that on much more common coins, like a MS-65 Morgan dollar with 250,000 coins in population. (http://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/...-duid-33390) Probably because it isn't widely collected or wanted. Still I'd have it over any Morgan of similar value. Can't tell you much about history, or why it exists in such low numbers. Finest Known Graded Example is NGC VF-30. Edited by zxcccxz 05/25/2014 11:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dr Jones New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 11:04 pm Thanks. I paid $250.00 for it which may be "tomorrow's price" but I doubt I would have had the chance to own it again. It was well worth that to me, even though it's above book value... Report this Post to the Staff
Dr Jones New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 11:08 pm I forgot to add that this is the NGC graded VF-30. Finest known. That added to the value in my mind anyway... Report this Post to the Staff
