Milled &
Miscellaneous Gold
Milled Bust Gold of Spain and Spanish America
In this section we
present all the gold coins in our inventory besides cobs. We start with the
popular machine-struck (milled) bust-type (or portrait) gold coins that were
made after cobs at the various Spanish and Spanish colonial mints. Since they
represent the same values and denominations as the earlier cobs, these coins (or
at least the larger denominations) also fall under the category of "doubloons".
The second part of this page is a presentation of gold coins of many different
time periods from around the world, just whatever we happen to run across that
looks nice and is priced right, not to mention that many are also from
shipwrecks!
