GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1852 Posts	Posted 02/16/2018 8:31 pm Quote: Here's one of my scarcest coins, that I snatched out of ebay for a good price, where it was mislabelled. Chile 1867 1 peso, nicknamed "Pechugon". That's a holy grail of Chilean coinage. Only a small amount was minted (all soft strikes) before the popular Un peso or "Aguila" design was introduced the same year and used until 1894. Congratulations! that is indeed a very scarce coin. There are approximately 15-25 examples of the 1867 'Pechugon' pesos in existence (per my estimation and observations over 30 years), and yours seems to be in a nice very fine condition. Not exactly the holy grail of chilean republican coinage (that honor belongs to the Coquimbo Peso, with the 1817 'Volcano' peso without assayers initials as well as other Volcano dates and types being a close second), but it still is a very scarce and desirable coin. I also have one, but unfortunately corroded and not pretty. Edited by GERMANICVS 02/16/2018 8:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
