Rubenstein Valued Member Canada 99 Posts	Posted 09/22/2023 10:38 am Good day, I recently acquired this Coin and can't understand why they would make a coin so small. It has major Die Deterioration and what looks to be some die cracks. hope they changed the die after this one Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 18355 Posts	Posted 09/22/2023 3:59 pm Rubenstein, is a tiny coin! Not sure why they were so small - 1/4 real was a fraction over 3¢. Probably because they were silver. And you're right about the Die Deterioration. But they were used until they literally broke. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Edited by Hondo Boguss 09/22/2023 4:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
