Did you know that before 1857 a lot of the silver coins used in America were actually Spanish Reale coins. Even when these &quot;piller coins&quot; were done being made worn examples were still heavily used in America. The government ordered all of the foreign coins used in America to be turned into the mint to be melted in 1857, in exchange, you would get brand new American coins. The 8 reales was used to be what the American dollars was based on. Also, most of the silver coins found at archaeological early American settlements are Spanish Silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, It is a very nice coin, regardless of it&#039;s condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>You probably know this, but it is a Half Reale.</p><p><img src="http://www.mtmdc.com/images/aug3k1a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
