Poll: 2 Reales Luck Of The Draw--What Would You Hope To Get?

Very few of these actually exist as real coins (three or four I lost count) - I would like all of the non-existent dates because they would be COUNTERFEITS.

But because I a realist I voted for the rarest date on the list - the 1861 Hermosillo a super rarity.

The Sonora cap and Eagle are exceptionally beautiful.

But beware - I have seen a VERY impressive forgery of the 1861 Ho 8R on the market. It is a numismatic forgery and since I have seen only one example in the past 30 years I presume the forger was NOT Greedy and did not make very many.

The 1R version is very readily available in decent grades - they appear at least a few times a year. The 2R is hardly ever seen in decent shape. But the translation of the image to a tinier size did result in a much less impressive eagle.

I missed that auction - I would have bid to see.
