oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5245 Posts	Posted 10/06/2017 6:12 pm This weighs 2.4 grams and the diameter is about 17 millimeters. It appears to be a 1 real, heavily worn, but I cannot get a specific attribution-catalogue #, country/ year (may be 1696 based on the 96 below "PLVS VL" If anyone can narrow this down, it would be much appreciated. Less important information would be a fair retail price for this item. Report this Post to the Staff

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 9:33 pm Looks like 1696 Potosi. $50-100 range. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5245 Posts	Posted 10/08/2017 2:00 pm Thanks. Something identical seems to be posted on vcoins and they are saying Lima. So I am definitely confused. Do you have a catalogue reference? Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 10/08/2017 4:06 pm You're right oriole. L for Lima in lower right corner, H in the lower left for Hurtado. I was fooled by what looked like a P in the upper right corner. Compare Sedwick's 1697 2R Lot 808 from Auction 21. Also compare Lot 821 for pricing of 4 Lima 1R's from the same period and condition. They realized $225, or $50-60 range per cob. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Edited by thq 10/08/2017 4:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
