    A Portuguese $5 (escudos) piece with tobacco spit on it.

    The new Krause has prices up ten and twenty fold on a lot of the modern Portugese coinage
    and it's may still be understated. All the preeuro coins are experiencing good demand and many
    of them are nearly non-existent except in circulated condition.

    I'm not familiar enough with this particular one to comment but am confident it is not common.
    The older issues of this coin are exceedingly elusive in nice XF or better.

    Thanks for the info, Cladking! Even with the "tobacco spit" on it, it's not too bad looking. Otherwise, it'd be AU or better. Damn chaw!!

    Glad to make your day, Nick!
