Peru

Afternoon everyone ….

You have now seen a barrage of items from my latest box of tricks. From graded coins, to vintage rounds an even a beautiful bar yesterday.

Well today….

I am featuring a vintage world coin for all of you. I acquired this and several other vintage world coins in a trade with a friend a few years back.

He needed a Peace dollar that I had to complete his set of graded Peace dollars and asked if I’d be willing to trade. At that time I was really in search of nice specimens of old silver world coins.

So he picked several that he was willing to part with and we met up over lunch for an exchange.

This 1888 Lima, Peru Un Sol is one of the coins that was part of the trade. The coin is in very nice shape, I’d put it at very high AU minimum. It might even be a low mint state possibly an MS62 or 63.

I’m considering getting this coin graded. I have a pile building of things I’d like to get graded. This might be one of them.

Enough already, show us the coin….

That Sol is amazing. You just don't find them that nice at that age! I think that's a great one to grade, fantastic coin!

Oh wow, I think it's beautiful but personally I especially love the obverse. It's a pretty one!

Yours is in great condition compared to any other offered here, yes I went looking as I like the design so I got curious. Many 1/5 available though.. Put some for favourites to check later..

Thanks for sharing !LUV
