plonker Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 11/23/2012 2:47 pm Hi All, I acquired few old Spanish coins from an estate sale some time back. Some of them have dates and all looks to be from Spain. These were inside old envelops with the name Hans M.F Schulman store in 5th avenue in NY.The writing on the envelopes are hard to read and all I could catch is they are some denomination of Maravedi's. I would really appreciate help identifying and valuing them. Thanks in advance , 1 Maravedi ? 4 Maravedi 1742 ? 8 Maravedi ? unknown 1756 Report this Post to the Staff

Second : 4 maravedies, minted in Segovia for Felipe V in 1742 Third : 2 maravedies, minted in Toledo for Ferdinand & Isabelle (the catholics) Fourth : 1 ardite for Ferdinand VI, minted in 1756 in Segovia for Cataluña Report this Post to the Staff

The oldest ones are a bit old to be in the Krause world catalog, but you should be able to find the newest ones in that catalog. Report this Post to the Staff
