I really like that side - great score. Funny that you and @silver-hammer posted Crabtree Mint Rounds back to back. I have heard of that mint until this week!

@mikegpo good job going back to edit your comment early. Spain gives us the Two Bits from the Spanish Milled Dollar. I would have also excepted Mexico because of the Spanish Colonial Reales.

From the inter webs....
“Two bits is commonly understood in America to be one quarter. The word “bit” long meant, in England, any coin of a low denomination. In early America, “bit” was used for some Spanish and Mexican coins that circulated and were worth one-eighth of a peso, or about 12 and one-half cents. Hence, two bits would have equaled about 25 cents.”
So England with a detour via Spain & Mexico?

Mexico or Spain because of the Spanish Milled Dollar which broken down gave us Pieces of Eight. One Quarter of the Pieces of Eight is "Two Bits"

I think that I must start sleeping later, for your posts are always 7 or 8 hours old when I wake up and I always miss the chance for a full upvote. :=)
