Well, I found this coin in the back of one of my Mother's jewelry boxes. It is dated 1760. I tried to look it up to check its value but could not find one with a price. Also, I could not find one with St Thomas stamped across the center. Weird. Sorry I could not reduce the picture size of the back of the coin. Would appreciate any help I can get on this.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Coins from diff. countries were used throughout the colonies. Often when absorbed into the local currency, they were stamped with the name of the colony. I had an 188(?) French sou with a "Nevis" stamp on it. I believe these are worth a premium. Be nice to see the reverse side.

The site I looked at says it is a Spanish coin with "O" over "M" mint mark which indicates minted in Mexico. 8 Reales coin. The one I found doesn't have the St. Thomas stamp.

Thanks for the information. One person told me I had to weigh it to make sure it is real. I guess maybe he didn't think it was.
