Hello Ratney, is the top coin a 1780? Nice oldie! Looks lie it was once use on a necklace, hence the hole. Nice finds.

You are getting amongst those 1700 coins yourself now. After finding the Mexican 1 Real with the hole in it I did some searching on the net. There were two schools of thought, 1st was that small coins were threaded on wire so they didn't get lost as easily (didn't work in the case of the coin I found and in yours) 2nd was that coins were sewn onto an article of clothing so the person always had some change on their person. These explanations may be why the hole is in the coin, then again the net is not always right I guess
