Latin AmericaNew, softcover, fully illustrated, 132 pages. FREE SHIPPING within the USA. All copies are signed by the author! This landmark work examines hundreds of examples to chronologically sequence the dies used to make 2 escudos gold coins (“doubloons”) at the Bogotá mint in 1692-1714, during the tenure of assayer Buenaventura de Arce Penagos, all in the name of Charles II of Spain, whose death in 1700 marked the beginning of the War of the Spanish Succession and an increase in Caribbean piracy. The majority of these hand-struck coins were recovered by divers in our time from the wrecks of the Spanish 1715 Fleet off the east coast of Florida, and many of the recovered coins now reside in the State of Florida Collection, which the author studied extensively for this project. This work reveals several heretofore unknown aspects about these coins, including muling with 1 escudo dies, transpositions and retrograde characters, and even a secret debasement. After a lengthy introduction, the coins are presented in three chapters representing distinct periods: Lifetime issues 1692-1699, Transitional issues 1700-1704, and Post-Transitional issues 1703-1714 (the overlap of the last two considered Half-Transitionals 1703-1704). Each chapter shows diagrams of the obverse (shield) die designs and key aspects of the reverse (cross) die designs, with summaries and photos of all the known die combinations. Two appendices do the same for Philip V Arce 2 escudos 1718-1722 and all Arce 1 escudos 1692-1722.

BooksA COLLECTION OF EIGHT OF THE FIRST COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS OF MEXICO William Henry Jackson was a famous 19th-Century photographer. In the 1880s, he was commissioned to photograph Mexico to promote tourism. His crew of men carried photographic equipment on the backs of mules and rifles on their shoulders. The weight of the glass plates and the portable darkroom limited the number of possible exposures, and these images were taken in primitive, roadless, and physically challenging conditions. In 1897, he joined Detroit Photographic and they printed some of his photos using a new process called photochrom, the first color photo printing process. Unfortunately, the creation of photochroms was very labor intensive and production ceased. 35 of these eight piece sets will be sold. BUYERS OF THE EIGHT PIECE PHOTO SET WILL RECEIVE A COPY OF “THE BIRTH OF A CENTURY”, A 200 PAGE COLOR BOOK ABOUT THE EARLY PHOTOS OF WILLIAM HENRY JACKSON. Photos are approx. 7 x 4.
