I think it was this one: http://usmex.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Mexican_Coins_used_on_US_Currency.pdf I've been looking for a $3 Dixon Hotel note (with an illustration of 3 8-reale pieces) for a while. 2016 was not a great year for me financially, so didn't bid enough on this item: https://currency.ha.com/itm/obsolet...der-pcgs-choice-about-new-55/a/241618-86571.s
FOUND IT! SPANISH COINS ON AMERICAN NOTES http://scoan.oldnote.org Your Dixon Hotel is the only one from Illinois: http://scoan.oldnote.org/states/il/il-dixon.html (Don Bailey's site is OK. He is a Mexican guy, perhaps the North American numismatist for Mexican numismatics. But his images are granular and his perspective is from Mexico, not the wildcat banking era. But thanks for the link. I did not know of it.)
Late to the party, but Feliz Ocho de Mayo, anyway. Mexico (Spanish Colonial): silver 8 reales ("Pillar Dollar"), 1761-Mo-MM, Mexico City mint (PCGS AU50; population 4 with 11 higher as of 3/15/2018.)
To our new Moderator, with greatest respect. "Bacon bits. Mmm" ? Haven't you seen my "vegged out" ? Alright, sorry for politicising - am I banned for life ? And listen here, Bert, all this nonsense has got nothing whatsoever to do with Numismatology !!!
