1899 No longer with us United States 207 Posts	Posted 02/12/2008 6:00 pm I need help identifying these coins---Let's say that the 1793 coin is in VG and the 1708 Great Britian 4 Pence in Fine condition.

snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 02/12/2008 8:04 pm Something is off with the date on the first coin. A 1793 Mexican 2 reales should have the bust of Charles the fourth on the obverse. Can you tell if the third digit in the date was tampered with? According to Krause the 4 pence is worth: VG $7 F $10 VF $23 EF $60 Edited by snowman 02/12/2008 8:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 02/12/2008 8:16 pm The Spanish-Mexican coin is from the reign of King Ferdinand VI, so your possible date-range is 1746 to 1759. Your coin is actually "1753"; judging by examples in Krause, that's the normal shape for a "5" on this series. KM# 86.1, CV $35 in Fine back when my Krause was printed in 2002. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 02/17/2008 1:56 pm Sap is correct, the date on your coin is 1753 and 2 reales like that circulated in the US as legal tender until 1857 when they were declared to no longer be legal tender. They were the equivilent of a US quarter dollar (2 bits). Report this Post to the Staff
