Charles III of Spain 1/2 Escudo Coin - Any insights?

Hello All,

I took an interest in Charles III when I visited Spain this past summer. A good example of a ruler who really tried to do what was best for the people currently and for future generations. He avoided wars and funded education. His statue is not only in Madrid, but also in Los Angeles since he was King of Spain when the city was found in 1781.

I recently saw this coin on ebay, but do not know too much about coins of this era. What is a reasonable top value for this coin?

    Hello Andres,

    Sorry, I forgot the link. I edited the original post to ensure it is there now.

    Don't love it.

    Dave Wnuck has a very nice 1776 1/2E for sale that I'd consider if I was in the market for a Carlos III 1/2E.

    Who is Dave Wnuck?

    What is a good range these go for and what is wrong with the one I liked at the auction?
