I am trying to find out about Spanish coins
As not surprising KM is wrong again
Schlumberger 1988 and Friedberg 1976 seem to have more information
Does anyone have these goldcoin catalogues ?
I have the Friedberg, and might get some more info regarding Spanish gold coins, what do you need?
It seems to me that according to Krause starting with the 2 escudos 1868 (68) they put a date between brackets
also the 1865 is stated 175 $ uncirculated and the 1868 (68) 1500 $ uncirculated
Far down the page for a 10 peseta 1878(62) Krause states that the date between brackets is a 1962 restrike from original dies
for 85 $ uncirculated. On the internet I found that 19 should be in the left star next to the date and 62 in the right star next to the date
making it clear that 1878 is a restrike from 1962
My confusion is what does it mean when the date between brackets is the same like 1868(68) and why would a restrike if it is one be 8.5 times more
expensive then an original form 1865
Krause gives no strike numbers so I do not know that mintage is part of the answer
The information on the stars came either from Friedberg or Schlumberger
