    This is an Indian quarter eagle (2.50). This one is in au condition. What makes this coin interesting is the incused minting process, the image is actually cut down into the coin and the fields are as high as the relief. The Book value is $235.00

    This is a 179X Spanish milled dollar. This coin has been cut into quarters. This was common during the early days of the united states. Small currency was hard to find so to fill the gap they cut the coin, By us law you were allowed to cut one up to 8 times. 1/8 of a dollar was called a bit, this coin is a 2 bit coin. This coin is quite collectible, most of these were melted down and re-coined by the USA. Only a few examples survive. The value of this coin is very subjective but I believe it is about $60.00

    This is a 1677 cob, made in Mexico during the Spanish colonial times. This piece was recovered from a sunken galleon. The major breaks in the coin are original from when it was made. These were very crude coins and no two are the same. Very rare and neat part of American history. When these coins made their way back to Spain they would be melted down and re-coined into proper Spanish milled dollars. The value is approx. $300- $400 dollars.
