Welcome. :) Getting books and reading up on identifying coin types could be worth the time to you. It is a small investment but will help you...
Reasonably inexpensive US silver from the 1700s? No such thing unfortunately, unless you count a grand or two for a low-grade coin as "reasonably...

Jeez, gotta get myself some pattern coins like those...

Die variety dursday. It doesn't make much sense but I'm sleep deprived and laughing at everything so I thought it was funny.:wacky::wacky:
