prettymoney123 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 12/14/2012 3:26 pm This is the third request I am making for help on behalf of my friend who inherited her Dad's coin collection. I've been able to identify all except three coins and this is the third. It is a small coin, smaller than a cent, and appears to be made out of silver. There isn't much detail but the photos are as good as I could make them. Appreciate any help you can give. Thanks again. Identified - moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Probably 1/2 real at this size. Reverse reads HISPAN ET IND R, and then a mintmark. Here are some examples: http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/Col...illed.1.html Report this Post to the Staff
