RickyO New Member Argentina 33 Posts	Posted 08/01/2023 11:00 pm Hello! I am RickyO from Argentina. Although Argentina and Chile are neighbours, coins from Chile aren't really common where I live, because I live in eastern Argentina and Chile shares a border to our west. Coins from Argentina itself, Uruguay, Peru, are fairly common, but it was a nice surprise to find two beautiful coins from Chile I'd like to share with you today. First one is 20 cents from 1878: Second one is 1 peso from 1917: I hope you like them as much as I do! Do you have some South American coins in your collection? Are South American / Latin American coins easy to find where you live? Report this Post to the Staff

Coins from South America are not frequently encountered here in the US. I do have a few, but most of my collection from south of the US is Spanish colonial or Mexican War of Independence. Picked up this 1813 Morelos SUD with Oaxaca counterstamp recently for a really good price last week. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

I am trying to understand if the 20 cents from Chile is dated 1878 or 1873 the 3 over a 2! It's difficult to get it right. I also completed a set of Uruguayan coins, I will post them soon! The least valuable coin was the hardest for me ti find! Cheers and thank you for your kind answers! I am so happy I joined the Community! Report this Post to the Staff
