The Lima mint beganthis esign in 1571 and the ohter int followed in their time unitl 1652 when the coin dies were changed to the Pillar Dollar design. The Jerusalem coin was used predominately at this point. Item is from a smoke free home. Comes with all items shown. Please ask all questions before bidding. This is a steal of a deal. It has been kept in my jewelry box with velvet siding to keep it from getting scuffed. It has never been worn. Thanks for browsing. Place a Bid!
