<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tonedcoins, post: 1195801, member: 25155&quot;]<span style="color: black">The first coin pictures are too small to identify correctly (IMO) but I believe this is a Atocha coin. </span><span style="color: black">The&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; coin design in use during the Atocha time period, referred to as shield&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; type, incorporated the Spanish coat of arms or shield on the obverse&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; side and a cross representing the union of Church and State on the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; reverse. The elements of the design between the three major mints,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Mexico City, Lima and Potosi, although similar, have features which make&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; differentiation possible.</span></p><p><span style="color: black"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: black">The other small issue I see is that is has areas which are worn where the mint location would be. I also think it is upside down. Sorry I can&#039;t provide any more info towards this coin Chris. I wish I can see a clearer closeup of it to give more info.</span></p><p><span style="color: black"></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
