need help with this coin can see partial date like 17maybe i know its old is it worth anything or conversation peace.
To be honest with you when you have a coin so worn like this, and you really can't make out the date the coin is worthless. Now if it was a extremely rare coin maybe, but that condition . I think it could very well be a foriegn coin can't make the date out at all.Sorry/ I even zoomed in 400 times magnification and still can't make it out. JC
Now, while I can't make out what the coin is, I do disagree that the coin is worthless! Sometimes, old coins just get rubbed the wrong way (or the right way, many, many times) and that just makes them "cool" in my opinion. If you have a coin that's over a hundred years old, how can you not respect it, despite what's happened to it?
It a brazilian coin, a Reis, but it´s impossible to determine the denomination. But at least I can tell it is pre-1889. The obverse has the coat of arms of the empire, and the empire was toppled in 1889.
Not even enough of the legends left to try and figger out a country of origin.... any chance you can make them out and post them here? Looks like a cool coins, just darn hard to figure out because of its condition.... nevermind kvarterto came through with an ID....
have coin in hand and i see what u see it is a large coin id say 1 an a half inchs round sorry cant do much more just hold on to it i like it.
I may be wrong but I believe it's from Portugal and they were used in Brazil but those were counterestamped. :goofer: Ribbit Ps: Here's one to compare to: http://cgi.ebay.com/BRASIL-80-REIS-...0?hash=item19b0d879f4&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116
I took the liberty of editing the above photographs with an old Corel editor: It looks like one that I saw in a catalog for Brazil of a regular issue of the 1820's or 1830's, but beyond that I can not identify it any further. But it sure had a lot of use in it's time.
