[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1685278, member: 41863"][ATTACH]253397.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]253398.vB[/ATTACH] This last coin is my favorite. I was putting everything back in the bags and ran across this after I put all the large stuff up first. When I picked this piece up I knew I wanted it so I handed it to the clerk for weighing and since it was so small this ended up being a freebie! [ATTACH]253399.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]253400.vB[/ATTACH] My guess is that this is a 1742 Dos Reales. I'm guessing simply because I have no idea what the denomination would be, but it does have a 'D' before the usual 'R' that denotes 'Reale', so I figured it would be 'Dos Reales'. Edited to add that this coin is a Single Reale, not Dos. The Dos Reales are marked 2R, whereas mine is just R, so after checking ebay its just a Reale How did i do? Oh and Greg, is that better? I know its not really a stack of 'bullion' but it was bought as junk prices, although i find all of these new acquisitions beautiful and somewhat collectible to the right indiviual. I did cherry the lot for the nicer looking coins[/QUOTE]
