I am liking it also. That is a nice coin. I think I will look for one. I got a couple of Morgans yesterday at my LCS. I am at the point where all the Morgans I want are getting expensive. That is one reason I thought to look at foreign silver coins.

 Just a small sample of some large 18th century silver coins in my Collection. Austro Hungarian Thaler, Russian Ruble, Netherlands 3 Gulden, Spanish 8 Reale, British Counterstamp on Spanish 8 Reale, Portuguese Counterstamp on Spanish 8 Realm.

Here's an unusual French 5F Charles X. Someone, for whatever reason, has cameo'ed the bust and turned it into a pinback.

The British counterstamps are not that hard to come by but I've only seen one other Portugese counterstamp coin. I just like observing the large silver coins that were being created to match the Spanish silver coming out of the Americas. The huge dump of silver onto the global market actually caused inflation.

I don't have a pic but have you seen the Turks and Ciacos Islands 20 crown coin. It is 1.15 ounces of silver. It is the biggest silver coin I have.
