The
mint located in Zacatecas Mexico struck coins from 1810 through 1822 for the
Royalist Cause during the War of Independence.
In
1821 there were two types of standard 8 Reales issued by the Zacatecas Mint.
One,
the far more common with Assayers RG, the other noticeably less common with
Assayers AZ.
Calbeto
De Grau records 11 varieties (style variations) of 1821 RG 8 Reales. This coin is #1795. (Compendio De Las Piezas De Ocho Reales: San
Juan 1970).

This is a rare coin.

The physical appearance of a coin will differ
depending on the type and intensity of the light under which we view the
coin. I use a 100 watt incandescent
light bulb at a distance of about 1 foot.

I am now currently making international

you can buy it from outside the USA. My shipping it to Kentucky is free
to you. The part about getting your coin from Kentucky to you has all
been worked out by Global Shipping. Supposedly, you can see your mailing
costs, etc.
Payment
I
would appreciate your paying me in a timely fashion after the close of the
sale.
Other Information
My shipment to you: The 8th largest
city in the USA no longer has a Post Office open after 5:00PM Monday
through Friday. My mail route is “a training route” so I no longer have any
idea who is going to be delivering my mail, or at what time of day. I am
not going to leave a $50-$500 coin outside to be picked up by “whomever”.
Given all of this, if you win and pay for a coin this morning, it probably
won’t be put in the mail this afternoon. They are taken to the Post
Office to be mailed.
Returns: This is a collector coin and not just
some chunk of silver bullion. If you do not feel that this coin is “right
for you” after you have examined it, send an email letting me know it is coming
back to me. Return shipping cost is at the buyer’s expense. Return
it at your convenience, preferably within 14 days. The shipping to you is at my
expense for domestic shipping.
This
is an old collector’s coin, and you and I both know, as coin collectors,
sometimes a coin that looks good from photos does not measure up to our
expectations. After you have looked at it, if you decide that it is “not
for you”, just let me know that you will be sending it back so that I
will know to expect it. I have other old 8 Reales. If for some
reason you don’t feel satisfied with this coin, that doesn’t mean you won’t be
happy with the next one you win.
Please
read everything I have stated to you about this coin, if I have made any
specific comments about it. If there is something of interest to you
about the coin that I did not explain to you in this listing, send an
email.
I want you to be satisfied
with what you get.
I want to build a positive
business relationship with you, not just “get a sale”.
