Nice looking half real Brian! That key is different and it does look old. How big is it?

Great finds! Looking at the simplicity of that key makes me think that locks were made for honest people those days! Lol

I'd say first the pics are pretty good, consider that many are posting much smaller, farther away pics of nearly featureless coins while looking for an ID.

And 2nd, both of those are very good finds, A very decent undamaged spanish Silver,(that many would kill for) and a cool key that is probably much harder to find than spanish silver. I've only got a couple of old keys, and while having probably no monetary value, I prize highly.

That is so cool! Lovin that Skeleton Key, of course the coins are a great find. Curious, What is the value of those coins, out here in California I am trying to find stuff past 11980's... But that is another story... Haha...
