brg5658 Pillar of the Community United States 627 Posts	Posted 05/10/2013 10:35 pm I had a chance to pick up a very charming and well preserved example of an 1800 1 Real. It has nice amounts of crust, and very pleasing glints of luster -- particularly around the shield and pillars. The detail on the "PLUS ULTRA" banners is strong, and the detail in the bricks on the castles is full. See pictures below. There are various die chips scattered in the fields on the portrait side, while there is a small die crack from the "F" of the assayer's initial (of F.M.) to the left pillar. I'm still trying to find nice 2R and 4R examples from the Charles IIII portrait series to make a nice type-set. Report this Post to the Staff

wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 05/11/2013 04:28 am Perfect looking coin! Thank you. Never seen such small Mexican portrait coin as I collect large 8R only. Is the edge pattern same as the large 8R coins? May I have a chance to look at the edge of this coin? Report this Post to the Staff
brg5658 Pillar of the Community United States 627 Posts	Posted 05/11/2013 08:04 am @wonghinghi -- The coin is in a PCGS holder, so there is no way for me to photograph the edge. Report this Post to the Staff
MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 05/11/2013 4:18 pm Yes, the edge is similar, even on small denominations :) Even the 1/4 reales have the square / circle edge ! Lovely coin indeed - although I don't like plastic tombs (you have one of the reasons) Report this Post to the Staff
wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 05/11/2013 4:31 pm MathieuMa, thank you your reply. Have you seen such a high degree of edge overlapping in this kind of portrait 8R? https://goccf.com/t/149217 Report this Post to the Staff
