Picked these up a small local coin show this morning. How do the photos look? It took me all of 10 minutes!  Edited by WheatBack

Sad news. My 2 toned 1/10th gold eagles got lost on the way to a forum member who was going to submit them to PCGS for me. Good news. I found a third that was already graded.
Hopefully the other two coins will finally show up in the mail, If not what a bummer. Why is it that an 8 year old fine gold coin can tarnish that much in such a short period of time ? Pure Gold is pretty much impervious to oxidation/corrosion. |

These are not .9999, so that might have something to do with it. I have only seen 4 or so that have been this toned.

Kingdom of Portugal, 1810 960 Reis, Rio de Janeiro mint. First year of this type, overstruck on a Potosi 8 reales. In 1807, Napoleon forced the Portuguese court into exile -- relocating to Rio de Janeiro, Portugal became the colony with the Kingdom ruled from Brazil. I like the way the elements of the understrike toned differently so that they are more visible.  |

jgenn, what a wonderful, interesting piece!
I had to read Wikipedia for a while thanks to you.. mostly, because I did not know there was a 960 reis. Turns out I know a lot less than I thought about Portuguese currency. Thanks!
