First Reale

[Thebigd81]

Second time out in 3+ weeks because of all the insanity in the world... Definitely paid off! Found in a field where one of the first settlers of my hometown built a cabin in late 1780s/early 1790s... Can anyone see a date on it? All I see is the 4 at the end

What a great find...maybe try using a magnifying glass and photograph it? It's difficult to see...

What is the coin's diameter in mm?
Guessing Carlos IV 1794 or 1804
Don....

It looks like it says CARLOS III around the front of the coin... Is that a possibility?

Great find there! It's tough to see in the photo but I think you should be able to get a rough ID on it even if you don't have a date that's visible.

Now that's awesome! Yeah I was pretty amped when I saw what it was (thought it was a capped bust dime)


Thanks all

nice find! It's spelled either "real" or "reales." There isn't a middle ground of "reale."

Unique, very nice find! try a pencil rubbing and/or shine a bright light edge on to the coin and observe with magnifying glass.

Thanks... I used a flashlight from the side and it looks like there is a very faint 7 there so I'm thinking it's a 1774
