I am grinning like kid in a candy shop. That magic number... the triple-eight. Another 1888 coin!
And so I bought it.
1888 Peru Un Sol
Doesn't the image on the reverse of the coin remind you of the U.S. Seated Liberty or the U.S. Trade Dollar?

The obverse of the coin features the coat of arms of Peru, which includes the llama-like vicuña, the national quina tree of Peru, and a cornucopia overflowing with coins.
I am no collector, and I'm not chasing coins. I'm letting them find me!
Even better is that some of them found me through kindness. Each coin carries not just an 1888 date, but a connection. That's the sweetest part of my 1888 collection story! Thank you, 
Hive account@stokjockey, 
Hive account@kerrislravenhill, and 
Hive account@silverd510, for the 1888 coins you have gifted me.
1888 coins from two countries that are relatively close to each other, Peru and Argentina.

I have not been to these countries yet. I bet 
Hive account@thebighigg has been to at least one. I don't know if I'll ever be in South America. Maybe.
I found this video on YouTube about the quina tree by Brian Bite. It is interesting.
