Tom Goodheart Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 856 Posts	Posted 09/11/2014 1:46 pm The bottom counterstamp (sun over mountains) is for Costa Rica. Possibly the 'P's on the cobs signify the Potosi (Bolivia) mint? Edited by Tom Goodheart 09/11/2014 1:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Veton Valued Member Spain 108 Posts	Posted 03/01/2015 12:13 pm Interesting coins. Last one is 8 reales of Charles II, 1696, mint Potosí (P)(currently Bolivia), assayer VR (It is partially erased so we can see V right of cross and R, down left of pillar). And this stamp, I think is from Central America Federal Republic , political union of Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Los Altos (part of Chiapas) from 1823 to 1840-41, although it was minted in Guatemala (most likely). v.

Pistareen Valued Member United States 309 Posts	Posted 03/01/2015 2:31 pm I have little problem with them as they all appear genuine. I see three pieces of eight of Charles II from the Spanish Colonial mints of Lima and Potosi. First coin is a 1691 from Potosi, Assayer "VR" with one date, three mint marks, 1.5 Assayers and 1.5 denominations. It has odd toning as though from sea salvage that has been conserved. The second is 1697 from Lima with assayer "H" with two dates, one mint mark, two assayers, and one denomination. It has pleasing toning. Third is a 1696 from Potosi with assayer "VR" with two dates, two mint marks, one assayer, and one denomination, along with an old hole, and Central American Republic (CAR) counterstamp of volcanos, which seems fine and proper. This coin also has a pleasing tone. None seem especially clipped. All should weight near full weight. In terms of rarity they do vary with the 1697 Lima piece (coin #2) much scarcer than the 1696 Potosi coin (coin #3), and with (Coin #1), the 1691 Potosi piece somewhere in between the other two with regard to scarcity. Coin #3 has to be discounted for the hole unfortunately. All together they might be valued $500 more or less for the lot. These coins will get buyers attention if advertised using the words "pirate booty." They may well have been. Cool! Report this Post to the Staff
