Volcanoes On Coins From Guatamala

These must not have circulated much. You see more nice ones of many years, than worn out examples.

John K I love your enthusiasm. Many of the tiny coins of the world are clearly underappreciated. Did you note that the long serif 1889 may be a double die or at least is has some re-punched elements? On this series like so many others, double dies are mostly uncatalogued and you can build a great collection of die varieties very inexpensively. Then when you tire of collecting hopefully many years off and you have become an expert in this tiny niche, you can publish a book about them to preserve what you have learned for other collectors.

I am doing this now with my 60 year old obsession. One warning be prepared to stop collecting after you publish. It happens every time. That is one reason I have waited until I heard the approaching hoofbeats of Mr. Reaper. But never be sad for me - instead rejoice that I have had 60 years involvement with a wonderful hobby that has given me literally thousands of hours of happiness.

Die clash makes this one look weird - but I like it. Lots of Machine Doubling on left side of volcanoes. small die crack, and maybe some repunched stars as well.

I can vouch for this. I collected a very niche area for years - wrote a book on it - stopped collecting that area straight after.

This particular series is great - I like these coins - though I only have one example. Writing something on them is certainly worth considering if you keep at it. Nice coins overall.

Also the first one we've seen with that big G.

Nice! Keep 'em coming!

These are attractive coins with such a simple design.

They are also quite affordable.

I think it is the first coin in the line I see without a proper rim.
Do not mind me, but I feel like something is not Ok.

Got this one same day new camera arrived
