    I had the very good fortune to dig up a fantastic specimen of a coin today. Needless to say I am a happy camper. Now I'd like to find out a little about it and its value. This is the condition of the coin in an uncleaned state. Help is very appreciated, thanks.

    It's a Spanish 1 reale struck at the Seville mint. Has no great value, maybe $50 in that condition, but still a quite nice coin. Must admit though, I am more than a little surprised that it shows so few signs of corrosion being as it's a ground find.

    I guess its cause its silver/nickel. Most other more modern american coins I find have more oxidation than it does. Sorry to hear 50 bucks was hoping to pay off the house. lol

    There is no nickel in that coin. It was made of .9170 silver with the balance being mostly copper.
