I cant believe this! I hit an old house off the main highway. didnt expect to find much. I found this small silver thing. I thought it was a medical pin because I didnt know what the symbol was on the back I had it for a couple weeks now and decided to bring it over to olekyground and to my surprise he said it was a "Spanish" Reale! the date is clear 1774! My oldest coin without a doubt!! I still cant believe this!

Super find!! I'm still looking for an early 1900's.......a 1944 wheatie is my oldest to date, kinda sad, huh?

 

[caveman2]

thanks everybody, i found it a while ago. I was running out of time, i had to go. i came home and just put it away, i got it out and cleaned it up today and took it to my cousins "olekygroung" because i didn't know what it was, it's prolly the oldest coin that i will ever find

 

[caveman2]

does anyone know about how much i could get out of it? cant find any values online

I dont know about the value of it. I do know some fetch a decent penny. I'm no expert though. I would take it to a coin dealer.
