The darkside has been calling my name, then I saw the 8 reales coin jtryka had for sale. I couldn't stand it any longer, so I managed to pick it up. Can't wait to get it. I've been wanting one for awhile. Of course, now I want one from the 1700s, perhaps a German mark, and hey, those Thalers are pretty nice.........

..the most interesting type of coins to collect ..always a new coin in every lot
