thq Pillar of the Community United States 3348 Posts	Posted 01/23/2021 9:48 pm Lovely realeswatcher. A clear date counts for something, and it does look like a 9, but there's not much of a monogram. I have a junkpile of similar 1/2 reales. $20 max, with great monograms. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

Sad part is that the seller WAS in fact involved with the salvage of the Association wreck (and the Hollandia)... Note this is not a one-time thing that could be written off as an honest mix-up in material... He's been doing this for years - for a while he was often buying raw on ebay and reselling with his own wreck cert. Edited by realeswatcher 01/25/2021 11:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
