🥇 BANNER 1770 8 Reale found today!!!!!!

[matt092079]

God was on my side for this one guys. HOLY CRAP!!!!! A solid 97-99 on the vdi. Was expecting a hot rock, they give off those funky signals. But to my surprise, at this pounded out spot, with only 2 buttons found last time out here, and 4 today, I dig a 1770 silver 8 REALES. And it's completely intact with amazing detail!!!

I've been hunting this place since February and it's dried up a bit, but this find was just what I needed to NOT give up on it just yet! Thanks for looking!

[coinman123]

That would be my absolute dream find. Congrats on that HUGE colonial silver, I am so jealous.

 

[Dust Eater]

Now that's a coin.
I bet you're still on cloud nine after that find.

Move over Shark week on Discovery... It's 8 Reale week on the Tnet!

And congrats to you because I think this is the banner one. Condition is great, and I like this style of coin much more. Plus it dates to the Colonial period.

You can cross Big 8 off the list! Can't imagine you will ever dig a better one. (if you even get another one - not easy)

Matt, that is an incredible find. I would take it to a Coin Dealer to have it verified as Genuine.
Then I would gladly pay the expense of having it Graded and encapsulated by PCGS.
Don't tell anyone that it is a dug coin. Let them grade it without that information.

I would put it in a 2x2 and have a beer.

I might not even do that. I'll have a beer though. lol
