1867 Peru 1 Sol and Thanks SGS

Around the end of January, Hive account@thekittygirl shared a nice little 1926 Peru 1 Sol with the SGS community. Her's was in a little bit fairer condition than the one I am sharing below. Here photo quality was a little better as well. I encourage everyone to head over, take a look at hers, read her description of the coin. I couldn't do it any better, so I won't. If you are so inclined, leave her a tip.

I know that my photos are shit. For this post I tried something new and most likely won't do it again. I have an app on my phone that Ive been trying out called CoinSnap. It helps identify coins and then provides characteristics nad notes on them. It also lets you build an album of them. These photos came from that album. So I am not sure if the original shot was crap or the quality of images the app creates is crap. Guess I need to check the few others I have in the album later and see.

Anyway, this is the only coin from Preu I own. I picked it up off eBay after reading Kitty's post and seeing hers. She had me hooked on it and I started shopping right away. Now that it is in my collection I am happy it is there and I was able to learn about it through her post. I have done this often since joining the SGS. There has been a few times that I have read a post with a coin, round or bar that catches my eye. When I do, it is shopping I go. Off to sites like HiBid, Monument Metals etc...

In the end, I enjoy a great deal from the SGS about stacking and collecting. Most of all I enjoy what I learn about stacking and collecting from the old hats. Even though I have been collecting on and off for years, it has only been as an almost lackadaisical hobbiest. As I hang around this group online, I am getting smarter about how I stack and collect, but still within my budget. BUt most of all I still do it and have fun.

If you have any further information about this coin you would like to add, like historical information I left out or want to correct any I may have gotten wrong, please drop it in the comments.

Thanks for reading,
Joe
