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.
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 know that 
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….
