<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 1278473, member: 28550&quot;]I think I&#039;ve ID&#039;ed a tricky coin that I came across recently, but I have no idea as to the value in G4. It has a reverse almost identical to this:</p><p><a href="http://www.coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=5558&amp;main_ct_id=35" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=5558&amp;main_ct_id=35" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=5558&amp;main_ct_id=35</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse shows a seated liberty (very similar to the design of the Peruvian Sol) with a fairly worn legend that looks like E CHINa. After reviewing a catalog, I may have the legend wrong as the coin seems to be described under #501:</p><p><a href="http://www.archive.org/stream/catalogueofcoins00unitiala/catalogueofcoins00unitiala_djvu.txt" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.archive.org/stream/catalogueofcoins00unitiala/catalogueofcoins00unitiala_djvu.txt" rel="nofollow">http://www.archive.org/stream/catalogueofcoins00unitiala/catalogueofcoins00unitiala_djvu.txt</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>....&quot;500. Cuartilla (1/4 real), 1860. Ohv. E. CHIHa LIBER-&nbsp;&nbsp; TAD. Liberty seated to right, holding a spear in left&nbsp; hand; behind, consular fasces; in exergue; e noviara&nbsp; F. Rev. OCTAVO I DE REAL | 1860 | within a wreath of&nbsp; oak and laurel. 30 mm.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>501. Cuartilla (1/4 real), 1865. Similar to No. 500, except&nbsp;&nbsp; date. &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, any insight into the value?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
