Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 06/20/2016 9:05 pm I'm hoping to identify what is left of this coin. I've looked at quite a few coins, but not satisfied I have a match. Reverse may be rotated. Any input is appreciated. 31.5 mm dia. 3mm thick 16.6 grams Report this Post to the Staff

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 06/20/2016 10:46 pm Your coins seems a little light, but the person sitting looks like that of the person on the Mexican ¼ real coin, dated from 1858 to 1862.

Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 06/20/2016 11:33 pm Yes, and a second measurement reveals a thickness closer to 2.8 mm. And I'm not sure the wear amounts to 13%. Maybe I can look at a few other Central and South American countries. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 06/21/2016 2:32 pm I concur with the image match, but even with the wear, the coin is too thick. Report this Post to the Staff
realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 06/21/2016 11:55 pm Definitely a mutilated Jalisco 1/4R... Report this Post to the Staff
Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 06/22/2016 04:00 am KM#355 Much closer than any of my findings. Unworn wt. = 19gm. With no reverse image and lots of cut/scrape marks this could have been filed down and used as a mechanical shim. Thanks Realswatcher. Report this Post to the Staff
