Ships leaving for Spain would of stopped in Cuba which was a Spanish territory but Louisiana was also a Spanish colony which would of been a trade point for the 13 colonies so currency would of switched hands. The main mints that you would of seen are Mexico(common), Potosi(uncommon), Bogotá(rare), Guatemala(rare), Peru(uncommon). You will see mostly Mexico because they were still pulling out a lot of silver out of the mines and producing coinage like nobody's business.</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">[USER=92655]@Randy Abercrombie[/USER] Thanks for the little shoutout <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
