Last winter I drove almost 2 hours in a blizzard to get to the auction that was selling this coin.
Got lost on the way but made it in time to bid.

Ngdawa, was it worth the trip ?

the few I checked were pictures posted from photobucket, maybe their section of photobucket is down or the pictures were deleted there?

Here are a pair of my favorites. 1773 Spanish 8 Reales MoFM with the assayer initials inverted and 1772 Spanish 8 Reales MoFM with the assayers initials inverted as MF instead of FM (how much did that mint worker have to drink at lunch that day?)

Correct; as I posted back on page 23 of this thread, pictures stored on places like photobucket eventually expire or get deleted. So please download the pics somewhere where they are permanent, like directly to CCF or use a CCF gallery, if possible.

Oh, I've moved my photos to a different map, but I can re-post them tonight (swedish time), so sit tight and soon you'll be able to see my coins again!
