i have an 8 maravedis coin and iβm wondering how many euro it would be worth if it could be exchanged today
Recently, I picked up a grab bag of old coins (Thanks, /u/jojo32!), and one of the coins was "a nearly slick heavily worn OLD coin (I think each of these can be identified, there is barely enough detail)."
He didn't lie...lol
It took me awhile, but my Google-fu for coins with 2 lions in a coat of arms lead me to an image of a Spanish coin that matched mine ("Hey, those blobs must be castles!"), so then it was off to Numista to search Spain. I got out the ruler, and measured ~29mm, so that narrowed it to the 8 Maravedis instead of the 4.
And that's where I'm stuck. The face is so worn, that it looks like a toss up between Fernando and Isabel...
I'm leaning towards Fernando because on mine it seems there is a gap in the writing directly above his head. Or maybe it is just so beat-up, but there is writing all along the top and it's Isabel?
I'd love some opinions from expert eyeballs!
The funeral director was asking us what we think Mum should wear in her casket.
Mum always loved to wear sarongs (fabric wraps that go around the torso and drape downward a bit like a long skirt would), so my uncle suggested that she wear a sarong in there.
The funeral director looked a bit confused, as did some of our family members, to which my uncle added:
"What's sarong with that?"
I started laughing like an idiot. He was proud of it too. The funeral director was rather shocked. We assured her, and our more proper relatives, that Mum would've absolutely loved the joke (which is very true).
His delivery was perfect. I'll never forget the risk he took. We sometimes recall the moment as a way help cushion the blows of the grieving process.
--Edit-- I appreciate the condolences. I'm doing well and the worst is behind me and my family. But thanks :)
--Edit-- Massive thanks for all the awards and kind words. And the puns! Love 'em.

Shipping
Shipping is $4 tracked for up to 8 oz and at cost for any amount above within lower 48. For shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, APO, or US territories I will have to specifically determine the rate which will be at cost. I can ship anything less than $20 in value, less than 3 oz in weight, and not too bulky in a stamped envelope for $1.10, however there will be no tracking. Please note that anything in a 2x2 may be taped over for risky shipped. I will ship outside the US, but the rate will have to be specifically determined. It looks like world wide shipping would start at $9 for Canada and $11 for all other countries if you want tracking. With USPS experiencing historic delays and a plethora of other issues, I will not ship out of the country without tracking. Once I deposit packages in a USPS receptacle, you are at the mercy of USPS and as they are in responsible charge of the delivery, you should take up any issues with USPS.
Payment
I accept Google Pay, Zelle, Cashapp, Venmo, and PPGS. I will not take PPFF as I do not wish to get my account suspended. Leave the comments section blank for all payment methods. Not that you should be making any comments anyways, but I cannot stress this enough DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES MENTION CUBA OR IRAN. Buyer pays applicable fees on all payment methods. Note that the fees for Venmo, Google Pay, Zelle, and Cashapp are ZERO. Note that the fee for PPGS is +3% of order total +$0.30. I will no longer accept checks or money orders.
Please note the following new stipulation: I will only accept Zelle, Cashapp, or Google Pay for purchases under $50. Purchases of $50 or more may utilize any of the listed payment methods including PPGS and Venmo.
Other Notes
No trades at this time. I generally only ship on weekdays, so purchases on Friday through Sunday will ship out on Monday at the earliest. Additional pics available upon request for coins over $5. I donβt have the time to mess around taking more pictures of coins less than $5 in value. DO NOT SEND CHATS, I WILL NO LONGER ANSWER THEM. Please use the link below to send me a private message.

True story; it even happened last night. My 5-year-old son walks up behind me and out of the blue says, "hey."
I turn to him and say, "yeah, kiddo? What's up?"
He responds, "it's dead grass."
I'm really confused and trying to figure out what's wrong and what he wants from me. "What? There's dead grass? What's wrong with that?"

He says, totally straight-faced, "hay is dead grass," and runs off.
You officially hit rock bottom
No it doesn't.
And then you will all be sorry.
Now itβs syncing.
He replied, "Well, stop going to those places then!"
She said how do you know he was headed to work?
I will find you. You have my Word.
βthank you for your cervix.β
