TwoKopeiki Pillar of the Community Czech Republic 803 Posts	Posted 12/02/2011 12:43 pm Feeling very disappointed with myself for sleeping through the first 20 minutes of the Leunda sale and missing the 1813/2 Guadalajara 8 Reales that had my eye on ever since I received the catalog, I decided to go all out and get myself something from that sale that I can be happy to make a part of my collection. Haven't seen this type come-up for auction in a long while, so decided to pick it up if nobody else entered the bidding. Calbeto simply lists it as very rare with 3 to 5 known examples. Krause (and all sites using NumisMaster) has it for moon money and only up to VF. Heritage doesn't have a recorded sale of this type in their online archives. It's an 1814/3 Mexico 8 Reales. What makes it a very rare piece are the assayer initials HJ (Henrique B. Azorin + Joaquin Davila Madrid), instead of the common JJ (Joaquin Davila Madrid + Jose Garcia Ansaldo). I hope the catalog images are accurate and it has that gray original skin. I'm nervous because I have been deceived by Aureo images in the past. I'll post my own shots once it arrives.

I wish I could see one someday - even a small one (not for it's value, but for the pleasure of finding it and documenting the coins :D) Report this Post to the Staff
