Incredible coin, and this coin is very incomparable however your 1818 example was minted under this guy Ferdinand VII
(Texas was technically a province of Spain at the time so this counts right?)

Yeah, OK. I suppose that makes it 1818 or Spain to me, then.
I don't have any 1818 pix handy, so I'll play from Spain.
My current coin collecting interests are: (1) British coins 1838-1970 in XF-AU-UNC, (2) silver type coins in XF-AU with that classic medium gray coloration and exceptional eye appeal.

It's been a while since the last posting of this great thread...time to let some of the newer members contribute?
Quick review of the rules from the OP;
This game works sort of like the "Crazy Eights" or "Uno" card games do, but only on a very basic level. (For one thing, it never ends, haha.)
HOW TO PLAY:
If the last coin posted was a regular-issue U.S. coin, you have to post a coin of the same date OR the same type (NOT just the same denomination).
-US commemoratives, Hard Times and Civil War Tokens, or patterns can be considered all one "type". So if the last person posted a 1920 Pilgrim half dollar, for example, you may play any US commemorative coin OR anything dated 1920. Likewise, an 1863 Civil War token could be followed by any other Civil War token or any coin at all dated 1863.
If the last coin posted was a foreign coin, you have to post a coin of the same date OR from the same country (type or denomination do not matter in this case.)
-If you post a non-US coin, though, be sure to type in the country, since the next player might not be familiar with it, and will need to know where to play from. Please, no undated pieces like tokens or ancient and medieval coins. (Much as I love 'em, they don't have a place here).
Dual- or triple- dated coins (like Bicentennial issues, for example) are sort of "wild cards" for the next player.
For example, if I post a "1776-1976" Bicentennial quarter, the next person has three options: he or she may post a Washington quarter OR a 1976-dated coin OR a 1776 dated coin.

This makes it 1759 or Spain to the next player.
This appears to be a "bump" in the road...two weeks and no posts?
I guess this is what happens when "dark side" coins enter a U.S. Coin forum thread.

This one ain't purdy, but the price was right.
Found it while detecting the site of an old meeting house in North Carolina.
