1763 Wilver! I'm in complete shock tonight.

I just beat my oldest coin by 100 years. Previously, my oldest coins were 1863 and 1864. I beat them by a longshot tonight. This is now the oldest coin I've ever dug. A 1763 Spanish 1 Reale? Any info on this coin would be extremely helpful.
I went out at 6pm tonight for a short hunt. I was on my way back to the car, after only finding 1 wheatie in about a hour, when I got a good sounding deep signal. This coin was about 9 inches down. I almost died when I saw the date, and condition.
Thanks for looking.

Excellent Find ! The only reason I asked the value, is not necesarily for resale purposes, but maybe you should do an "insurance" type of appraisal?

This just goes to show everyone that "YOU JUST NEVER KNOW" what your gonna dig next !


Now go out there & get that coins buddies ;-)

Re: OMG. I'm in complete shock today.

Awesome find ;D Hopefully I get lucky enough some day to find a coin like this in my area of PA.

Here's Info and a few links on Reales

Mexico (1536-1821)
Mintmark-M or M with small o above. The mint produced the following coin types: Pillar type cob - (1536-1572), shield type cob - (1572-1733), milled pillar - (1732-1771), and milled bust - (1771-1821).

Milled Pillar Type: The fourth type of Spanish colonial silver coin design in the New World. Struck at the Mexico, Santiago (very rare), Lima, Guatemala, Bogotá (very rare) and Potosi mints in the time period of 1732 to 1772 - all with dates.
Design Characteristics: Machine struck on a full-sized round planchet. One side has a pair of pillars with waves separated by two overlapping globes crowned with a single crown. The other side displays a simple crowned shield with the typical lions, castles, and pomegranate but also with the centralized addition of three Fleurs-de-Lis.
