1776 and 20 years later I think it was a spanish ship- and Florida and a ship wreck---but I might be wrong?????

 

I don't know, but it looks like an English coin to me.

 

Im kinda new to coins but isnt it a spanish real?

 

DEI GRATIA on the right. CAROLUS IIII on the left...

 

yes!!!!! yes!!!!!!! spanish!!!!!!!

 

My bad. It is a Mexican 8 Reale.

At first it looked very similar to a British penny I have in hand.

 

Nice , any pillar dollar is nice .

 

Awesome find!

 

just checked ebay---5 listed from $49----199.00...think I did good....um not sure...(yea right)!!!

 

SO jelous!

 

:yes:

 

So was this a gagrage sale, flea market, ebay?

 

Well with my job I get the bennifit of traveling-=---yep. We got bored one day and drove to ARE-Kansas, sorry all it's funny. Went to a estate sale and while they were outside selling tractors, not lying here, 'I done bought me a boxin of them there coins" Just teasing--for a buck!!! It was a nice place, but I also got a 1921 D morgan for 18-. The roads to get there made both of car sick-----thanks!!

 

I've called it ARE-Kansas ever since I seen Ted Baxter do it on MTM like 30 years ago !

 

For a $1, its a good deal.

 

It's silver, but it has a hole in it, so you won't be getting $199 for it. I'm guessing a few bucks. Still good, but no early retirement.

 

What size/weight is it? They made these from 1/2 real up to 8 real. You will be able to tell by the weight.

Its a cool find, but in that condition and with a hole I don't think its worth much more than bullion, regardless of what Ebay might say. I just got in a lot of world bullion a mounted 1776 European Thaler without a hole that was only worth melt.
