Default I've bought a quarter dollar dated 1677.

Nice, but that's a foreign coin. I thought at first it was gonna be a
US coin.


The proper term is "world" coin. To Billy it is anything but foreign.

Also for the record, the Mexican two reales coins of the period
circulated in North America as "two bits" or a quarter dollar.

I found one dated 1682 for sale by a dealer for £65, I like mine a lot
better. Billy

So do I. The surfaces on yours just have a "harder" look, the color is
better, and there aren't the slick areas. The rim bump detracts, but not
overly so.
