...hopping down to good ol' USA, post-colonial era, 1827 ... a old worn-out, well circulated Liberty Cap Dime, posed with an authentic, of-the-era pocket knife with the date "1827" scrawled on the handle (...a good date - verified by world-renowned knife expert Bernard Levine, )  Edited by mrwiskers

...man, Hondo! ...that 's a beautiful Columnaro!...those coins were accepted about anywhere in the world, circulated here through the 1850's ... our Trade dollars were created in an effort to compete with the Spanish Milled Dollars ...(see the wording on attached pic...)  Edited by mrwiskers
