March 10, 2025: "Sunny Delight"

Author:

Concept:
We’ve always liked the charming sun faces on these type early 19th century Argentinian piece, especially when they are as nicely struck and all original as the one on this lovely 4 Reales.

Causing us to use this caption which we felt was perfectly appropriate for three important reasons:

The coin itself is delightful
Sunny Delight is a popular orange juice brand which we thought would resonate with our ad readers
It is also the nickname our dealer friend Ray Hinkleman uses for another dealer friend David Sunshine (who I am sure will be thrilled to see themselves mentioned here in the Ad Archive).

Captions that didn’t make the cut:
We briefly considered “Here Comes the Sun.” which would have been great except for the fact that we already used it waaaaay back in October of 2011.

And since we never re-use a caption, we had to find an alternative.
