    Not very familiar with these types of coins. There is a local auction house that has one up for sale.
    Dated 1804.
    Sorry no pics ( at least until I acquire???)
    Looks like it is in VF condition.
    I checked mint on reverse left side.
    Looks like a J overlaid with an S ???
    The mint mark was not M so I know it was not Mexican
    Is there a cross reference of mint to country of origin??
    Any ideas out there?

    THANX for the information.
    I know very little about this area of collecting.
