1 Reale/ Charles III
Spanish-Colonial
From what I understand, this was the predecessor of the U.S. Dime, valued at 12.5 cents at the time.
I'm more educated on U.S. Colonials.

Amazing coins.
I just sit and wonder:
Who held them? What did they buy? How many purses and pockets and drawers have they occupied?

I guess John Adams was only two days off. 4th of July sure did help his brewer buddy Samuel Adams though.

Neat looking coins though. Now does anyone have a US coin dated about 1630?  Now that would be worth a lot. And if it had Lincoln's face on it too.  |

I figure most colonials were used as some point to pay for beers between Washington, Franklin, Jefferson and Madison. Cuase of course they all had time to relax and drink a room temperature one.
