XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 06/01/2011 7:33 pm I purchased a large lot of foreign coins today and this was the oldest one in it. It appears to be some type of spanish coin from 1761. The S and 6 also appear to have doubling. If anyone can identify it and ascertain its value id be thankful. -XoG Identified - moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 06/08/2011 04:40 am THis is a II over J V- 2 reales, and the date is 1761, as the coin is read from the middle. Mint mark Seville, so it is KM 388.2, and worth about $25 in VF. Note- the S of HISPANIARUM is re-engraved. Report this Post to the Staff
XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 06/08/2011 10:30 am It looks like the 9 was re-engraved as well, does the re-engravings add any premium? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16876 Posts	Posted 06/19/2011 09:15 am I would think that 1761 is old enough that mild "varieties" such as re-engravings either make no difference to value, or indeed subtract from it rather than add to it. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 06/19/2011 2:49 pm Nice coin fairly common - price quoted is low for an original. Do you have an accurate weight? Report this Post to the Staff
