GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 11/21/2015 03:11 am I thought long and hard about this coin before deciding to finally push the button. It is a Santiago-Chile mint 2 reales, dated 1803. As spanish colonial coin collectors know, Santiago mint is scarce and in better grades specially so. Santiago mint issues are also plagued with fakes, as discussed in this and various other threads, so there was the need to be specially cautious. This one actually discusses a 2R 1803, and it was very interesting to review. https://goccf.com/t/173503&SearchTerms=chile,1803 Would greatly appreciate your opinions about this coin. Thanks!

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 11/30/2015 2:20 pm Thought I would post some additional images of the coin now that I have it in-hand. Here are also some images of the edge device (best I could). I also plan to send this one in to NGC for encapsulation. (For the price that I paid, I want to have some reassurance the coin is genuine!) Report this Post to the Staff
