MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 4:25 pm Those are not the early Carlos y Juana reales - they are the late one. Nevertheless, your coins are excellent :) Check out the ones I posted lately, they are the earlier ones (there is no wave between the pillars, and the PLUS ULTRA moto is in a square) Report this Post to the Staff
realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 5:50 pm I think he might have just meant "early Mexico" generically... like from "the early part of Spanish Mexico's history" not the "Early" vs. "Late" version of these particular C&J issues.

mikelley Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 03/04/2012 08:24 am Thanks for the input. I meant that they were the earliest coins from the new world, not the earliest type from Mexico. I have seen photos of the earliest types but never have had the opportunity to buy one. Thanks again, Mike Report this Post to the Staff
MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 03/04/2012 5:09 pm About this, I was wondering which mint was the first one top open. Wasn't it Santo Domingo ? (their maravedies look crude) Report this Post to the Staff
mikelley Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 08:11 am MathieuMa. I found in my Calico that there were some silver reals minted in Santo Domingo- a 10, 4, 2, 1, and 1/2 reals. Also copper 4 and 2 maravedis. I believe I have some of the copper pieces and will post them when I receive my USB microscope. They are very corroded and possibly not SD.

MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 10:13 am I have some of those santo domingo maravedies, I'll post them as well if you want :) I'll gladly check yours out ! I was just wondering in which order settlements did open their mint. From what I remember on history, I think Santo Domingo was the first place inhabited by spanish settlers ... I love reading about this period, but I think I'll need a real history book to figure all this out ... and I'll need to find a special one about this period, as a generic history class book is usually too short on details. (Gary Jennings tought me a lot - although it was more on the incas side) Report this Post to the Staff
