Looks like the Mexico 8 reales coins are popular today. Maybe 1808 is a really common year?

Quote: Stunning 8 Reales, jgenn!
I only have French coins for most of the years around this time - here's a Napoleon Bonaparte 5-francs, Rouen Mint: Thanks, numisrob. My 8 reales collection really starts with Charles III. Quote: Looks like the Mexico 8 reales coins are popular today. Maybe 1808 is a really common year? 1808 was a transition year with some coins minted under Ferdinand VII. So the 8 reales of Charles VI should be less common but perhaps more popular with collectors. Here's the Ferdinand VII from 1808.

Of course, I suppose any world-class counterfeiting operation would hack into the NGC database and plant images of their coins there.

Now, for something a bit different ... United States -- 1807 25 cents:   (lighting angle looks a bit too low on these shots)

I like that 25 cent. That's a tough type to obtain. Here's the big sister, oddly undenominated:

Quote: Here's the big sister, oddly undenominated: Because there's no denomination on the reverse, at first I inadvertently posted a reverse photo of a half dollar (waiting in the upload folder for 1803 day) instead of the 1807 quarter. I had to edit the post to replace the half dollar photo.
