Oh, one last thing.
Sell your specimen ONLY if you desperately need the revenue.
You can always find a way to make some cash, but it is very
difficult to obtain a genuine, high-grade 1882 4P Manila.
To avoid certain legal issues (restrictions in Presidential
Decree No,374,1974 "The Cultural Property Preservation and
Protection Act") you can really only sell it to a fellow
Filipino residing within the Philippines.

Frankly speaking I almost tried to post this coin at ebay recently because I felt the cost of it when I acquired this more than a decade ago barely appreciated compared to some silver rarities. My plan then was take the proceeds and expand more on my early dated type F.7.o and Y.II counterstamped collection. By the threads you just posted here made me decide to forget disposing this alfonsino...  |

If they are alfonso 4 pesos, first time Bayanihan will auction, then I might as well be ready of resources before the 30th, excited to again get at least get 1 out of 5pcs  |

Well that is definitely an alfonsino 4P if it is starting at that cost you mentioned. I hope the dent at the bottom left of the rim is not that bad. A clear plus / ultra on pillars and King Alfonso's moustache are important factors in these Alfonsinos, I wish they have sharp details  Quote:
auction brochures available at World Treasures MegamallB Thank you Nic for the great info and the nice comment. See you soon in the auction |

Svslav - We share the same interest on old alfonsos. Your alfonso is a nice one Nic - I was very happy with the recent Auction you have informed me, though nobody bidded on the Alfonso (maybe because of the absence of its mint luster), But I won the Bronze MS-62 RB Wilson Dollar at a very, very low cost I didn't expected - Way, way below the normal price at Heritage Auction Archives. With your thread and advise, I was able to get a copy of brochure at Megamall thus made an early study before the auction. Again lots of Thanks Nic  |

Yes, Horge also uses the same handle in some other forums. I was supposed to use my more common handle, but my yahoo.com account is fumbling, so I had to use my alternate gmail account.
Thanks for the warm welcome.

Pandesalapi-Your collection seems to focus on these gold coins.
Your above 2 coins of Alfonso XII 4 pesos would really cost you a lot.
I have seen also your 1906s and 1906 proof one peso coins in your previous
threads, they are really beautiful coins. I can not recall finding your coins
in the market or present auctions here, so I wonder how do you get these ones?
I am beggining to enjoy having in this community. Thank you for the post

so I wonder how do you get these ones? Bagets - Mostly I am able to get these ones outside auctions here, Sellers were also collectors of these gold ones offered me, luckily at a bargain price. There is one alfonsino being auctioned right now abroad at heritage auctions that will end this august 12,2010 - if my memory serves me well. |
