Are those die cracks between the 4, 5, O, M, and 1 ??

or left over casting marks ??

And that on the bottom edge of the reverse?

I've seen a lot of those coins and don't remember those marks.

But I do like the 8 Real coins. Our dollar, half and quarter dollar system was based on the 8 Real, and the way it could be, and very often was, cut into "bits".

Anyone remember this pep rally chant from high school?

" 2 Bits, 4 Bits, 6 Bits, a Dollar,
All who love Coin Talk !!,
Stand up and Holler !! "

Those were the days, weren't they ? lolol

 

Die cracks, that’s one of the reasons I got it, and the earlier date/price.

 

No, tricksies master is a different book...golum golum.

 

1943 D Netherlands East Indies, 2 1/2 gulden

 

This 1900 O Morgan is a bit worn, however I like the toning and "circ-cam" appearance.

 

1947 Mexico 5 pesos

 

1621 Ensisheim thaler

 

The host coin is an ECU from the Villeneuve Saint Andre mint?
I think I see an R in the center of the reverse.

BTW, very nice coin!

 

Not quite so esoteric....1947 Panama 1 Balboa

 

Thank you!I'm not sure,it seems more like a K to me!Couldn't say too much,i bought it because of it's beautiful reformation,ecu's are not my strongest point as i'm more into german thalers.

 

Yes, you're right, looking more closely, it looks more like a K

 

1709 Corvey thaler,small mount mark that i'm going to try to have it fixed,improved by a professional, if i manage to find someone in the UK.
