Peru 1850 Date Set

I just added an 1850 Peru 4 Reales piece to my "Latin American Beauties" Custom Set. The coin is from the Lissner Collection and I bought it in a very recent Heritage sale. I know I overpaid for this coin, but I am putting a mint state, silver date set together, and it's tough to find what you need. Only two are graded by either service, both NGC one MS62 and one MS64. The coin is quite lovely despite the scuff marks, and is one of the best struck pieces of the type that I have seen. So now I have the Peru 1850: 1/2 Real (MS66), 1 Real (MS63), 2 Reales (MS63), and 4 Reales (MS62). I will be hunting down the 1/4 Real and 8 Reales to complete the set. (It's too bad I have a nice 1855 1/4 real piece instead of the 1850).
