OK world coin experts, what is it? I'll just sit here and eat some popcorn while I wait for answers Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 04/24/2011 11:47 pm Above the LL is where the doubling most obvious. As for the ID, it's a quartilla (1/4 real), not the 1/8th real in the above ebay link. Listed in Krause under Mexico, state coinage, Zacatecas mint, KM# 366. There's an 1863/2 overdate listed in krause; can't quite tell if that "3" is distorted in the right way for this to be the overdate, or if it's just more doubling. The overdate is valued the same as non-overdate 1863 coins, so it's not a rare variety. 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
