<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rick, post: 23083, member: 1235&quot;]last week, at auction, some coins came up in a little zip lock bag... not seeing it before it caught my interest, and I ended up buying the small lot for 3 dollars and change...</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of it was junk, as I expected, but one coin I found was very interesting.&nbsp; I can identify it as a 1 real from 1788, but unfortunately the mint marks around the edge are pretty worn down, so I can&#039;t decide if it is spanish or colony...</p><p><br /></p><p>researching what I could find, it would appear that the 1 real began minting in spanish colonies in 1792, though - which leads me to believe this is a spanish coin... with the exception, perhaps, of Peru.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope to get a pick up as soon as I can get a good scan, but the coin is fairly worn, so I&#039;m having a little trouble capturing anything helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
