swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 02/07/2013 9:10 pm For this example do you have the weight, diameter and SG? Report this Post to the Staff
MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 02/08/2013 03:24 am I don't have anything to do a proper SG ... Weight is spot on 27g (with my chinese scale ...) Size is just below 4cm (~3.95) with what I had on hand to check it :D Collonial John : I still have to send you the coin I proposed you, I've had the flu - and I'm now taking care of my son which got it, it's sitting at my desk at the office ... I'll post it on monday. Report this Post to the Staff
realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 02/08/2013 09:59 am It is a great design... perfect tone on that piece. Thought I'd post this here (as well as in that other thread about that iffy 1811)... Search "Major Chilean Coin Collection Stolen on that other major forum... "Santiago Chile authorities are investigating the theft of a major Chilean coin collection valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars. "The collection included a complete 8 Reales series of Santiago which includes a Pillar dollar and a 8 Reales CIII type, in addition to all the dates for Charles IV and Ferdinand VII in all varieties, a series that includes 70 different pieces. Also taken were approximately 20 Chile Independent coins and several hundred colonial coins, republican, 200 pattern pieces and hundreds of error coins (approx 400). Coins from Peru, Mexico and Potsi, including a collection of approximately 300 silver cobs. Thousands of coins were taken in this offense." Also contained in that post, this apparently is a link to a local article in Spanish: http://www.emol.com/noticias/nacion...illones.html Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 02/08/2013 11:50 am Size and weight are both good. All you really need at this point is a good scale from a sheriff's sale. Do SG's and your 90% there. Like the schroff's in 1835 - it will help immensely Report this Post to the Staff
