    I will post them up later this week I love that shilling... It's always nice when someone finds something I've found myself... It gets me fired up to see them in such great shape and with a rare mintmark too

    Here is a 2 Reales that I found about 10 years ago. Not sure if this is milled or hammered?
    The second one I dug a month ago. It was right up next to an old well.

    Re: Post Your Best Milled Coin

    Colin made it easy today ..... but I do not want to abuse my best showing silver and Gold coins.

    This is a coin of the Greek city of "Emporion" in northern Spain and will always be my best coin, has a rarity No. 5 (very rare) that displayed the banner of the city .
    The head of the front is the Greek goddess Athena ..... a goddess temple is the Parthenon in Athens.
    simplicity, old and beautiful ..... and my best green patina of coin. 200 B.C

    1692 maundy 2 pence - not best condition but a rare one to find & it's my special memory many years ago with a cheap machine
    1800 1/3rd of Guinea

    How do you find Gold coins? Reply: 'By finding lots of Silver ones..'
