Default I've bought a quarter dollar dated 1677.

Good show, Billy! Scottish coins are devilishly scarce here in the States.
A typical coin show is much more likely to not have than to have any at all.

According to our catalogs, the "1/4 dollar" is also called a "merk" and is
equivalent of 13s4d Scots. But I don't understand all I know about that
system.
