Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74481 Posts	Posted 12/31/2024 11:28 pm Nice addition, jecz79! Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 01/01/2025 04:50 am @jecz79 That's a nice Joao V! I did follow your recommendation and got a Maria II 2500$00, there is very little numismatic premium for the coins. The other coins are also a set you recommended. Again picked up at mostly bullion prices. The coin shop in Porto is very nice, but Chiado has higher quality/more expensive items. But I'm happy with what I was able to pick up. I'll be in Porto 3 more days so I try to get another coin (Açores 20 reis) if I can.

triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9415 Posts	Posted 01/02/2025 12:37 am Helder, I hope you don't mind me posting these here. I just took some new pics, so I can post these in the How Far Back Can We Go thread. Noticed some nice die cracks, especially on the 50. I wonder how much longer the die would have lasted.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 01/02/2025 04:21 am Very nice 50 and 100 reis. Many of these have die cracks. I think they used the dies until they broke apart. I have a mint state 100 on my list but no luck here. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff

jecz79 Pillar of the Community Portugal 655 Posts	Posted 01/03/2025 5:00 pm The 50 reis is very nice. The 100 I have a question. Do you see anything within the stars? @hfjacinto Açores coins are beautiful. Good luck with it. Report this Post to the Staff

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 01/06/2025 4:05 pm I'm back! After leaving the family the rest of the trip was great! We spent 4 days in Porto and I was able to add to my collection. I ended up getting what I came for including the gold coin and a few modern silver proofs. I haven't had time to take any pictures as we got delayed and didn't get home till 1:30 AM and today is my final vacation day so doing laundry and other chores we couldn't do while away. First will do some pictures. While at family we did some side trips. We went to a village that was all made of stone, We also did some trips to Coimbra to walk the shopping area and the old town. Had lots of great food! But you can only handle the family so much, so we did a few days in Porto and Gaia. We explored the Port Wine houses and sampled a few. We also explored the city. But like all vacations they must come to an end. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff

They should have the initials of the engraver. Do not worry. If the die was worn they may be hard to see. Report this Post to the Staff
