GEKO Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 04/02/2014 2:41 pm Hey ho I do not know too much about the spanish colonial coins. I found this 1/2 real from what seems to be 1757 What puzzles me is that the bust from carlos III comes up for coins minted in the 1770s and later, but the date is 1757. Sooo what do we have here :) Report this Post to the Staff

GEKO Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 04/02/2014 3:10 pm Oh I also see that its from the guatemala mint, seems to be a bit scarcer. Even though the condition is pretty rough is there any value to it ? Report this Post to the Staff

In that overall dog condition, it's no more than maybe a $5 piece to the dedicated accumulator of Guatemala portraits. Report this Post to the Staff
