I cheated and BOUGHT some spanish silver today :)

[coinman123]

Today I went to the local coin shop when I saw he was selling some spanish silver. I could not resist and bought all but one of the coins he had, I guess I cheated by not finding them metal detecting but I am satisfied. Besides, I already marked Spanish Silver of my bucket list with a 1779 Half Reale.

Anyways, What to you think of my recent purchases?
$7 for the worn 1801 Two Reale, $20 for the 1721 One Reale, and $27 for the 1759 Two Reale.

Nice!
Is this the same dealer where you got the Nova Constellatio?
Peace ✌

Its never cheating to buy a few, or a lot. That 1721 is a really nice coin!

It is the same dealer as the one with the Nova copper. After I got the spanish silver I saw a very rare morgan clash with a perfect "E" on the reverse among other things, the value of the clash is $100+ and he had it for under $30, I had him put it aside in the safe for me. I am going to a huge coin show next week and so is my coin dealer (same show) so I hope to find cool stuff. This week I got a huge pile of victoria coppers in the 25 cent bin

Sounds like an upstanding dealer.
Best of luck at the forthcoming show.
Peace ✌

Now if you'll just scatter it at my favorite hunting place I'll feel a lot better about your purchase

Still waiting on the hookup with that dealer. Congrats on the silver. And yes I buy a lot myself.

Cheating? Myself and MANY others call it "coin collecting".

Hahaha. I think maybe that's the reason I go to the coin shop every week.

Thats funny stuff, lol... I once hit one a toy coin figured holly Sh#t... It's gold. Nope turned out to be a Childs play token.

Happened when I found a 1960 Canada Nickel that looked exactly like silver when I started metal detecting two years ago. I screamed, "SILVER SILVER SILVER" When I read online my dreams were crushed, 100% Nickel, I was looking at the nickel today after getting a 1960 canada nickel in my change yesterday, brought back memories
