They all have some value, not my area of collecting but I'm sure someone will come along and give you more info. Edited by echizento 06/30/2012 12:06 am Report this Post to the Staff

I'd be guessing no one alive today, paid for a stall loaf of bread with one of those coins anytime of late. This would be un educated guess, but i'd be aiming 1760-1820 era Report this Post to the Staff
