Welcome to Silvergoldstackers @david0808 ,
It's a shame that you had to sell your silver coins but that is what Precious metals are for spending power when you need it. Some of my own collection came from friends that traveled abroad, some from coin counting machines, and sometimes found mixed in my change by luck. I hope you can build that collection up again.
I happen to have a few old Venezuelan coins in my collection.

1903 5 Bolivar, it's not in great shape.

Hello, how are you, my goal was not to sell the coins, each coin tells you the economic history of a country, the 5 bolivar silver coin is very appreciated, not everyone has it, last week I was looking at the price and it is worth 40 dollars

Yes, they are artifacts of economic history and I enjoy learning about that. Most Western crown sized silver coins are originally based on the Spanish Colonial 8 Reales. I found this specimen at my local Coin Collectors club a few months ago and purchased this for $45 CAD. It will remind me of my Venezuelan friends on Hive.
