Some pieces dated to the early 1720s - so certainly NOT Fleet! I was underbidder... guess I should've gone higher?! I actually do own a weaker-dated piece of this date... plus a phenomenally better 1688, so that I guess made me go conservative. Instead, I prudently bought... way too much "meh" from the group (though I did get one rare cherrypick). https://coins.ha.com/itm/mexico/wor...bnail-071515 https://www.icollector.com/Mexico-C...et_i34624186 Report this Post to the Staff

I started to look at the Sedwick auction but it made me very tired. The origins of the silver interest me, especially the Potosi mountain of silver. Over in Classic US coins I did some investigating on the Comstock Lode, because I visit there a lot. The Lode roughly follows F Street, for about 2 miles. The mines were literally located a block apart, and the distance from the 1859 discovery site to the 1873 Big Bonanza is about 2 blocks and 1100 feet straight down. The Bonanza silver ore filled approximately 2 cubic city blocks. Lots of Morgan dollars came out of those holes. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
