Better than my recent George II Half Penny

[ajgiii]

The hot streak continues.

Decided to go with low disc and keep zinc/1cent active and was I happy I did.

Found this reading very low around a trashy picnic area.

I believe its a 1725 Louis XV silver



Also found an old skeleton door latch and a button ( not sure how old either is).
and an old shlitz cap.

Congrats on the old silver

Wow. Now that's a French silver. (Banner) Looks like a 1725-H 1/2 ECU. What is the diameter? It has some value, but I see no listing for H mint in my Krause so it might even get a little better.

Looks like probably a 1 ECU as there is a 1725-H. $125 in VG, $350 in Fine. I did find a couple of 1/2 ECUs with the H mint mark and interesting both were from a shipwreck.

Iron patch to save the day!

Guessing most won't be able to put this one in perspective... many time rarer to find than an 8 reales, at least the milled ones.

Awesome thanks for the information. Guess its not worth enough to head into early retirement

No, but some pretty awesome detecting bragging rights. Is it the size of a half dollar, or dollar coins? (or smaller?)

That's in great shape 4 colonial silver. Congratulations on a great find. With the addition of the shlitz cap Banner all day

Then a 1/2 ECU, and the two from that mint I seen online were the shipwreck coins. Not that it matters, other than to suggest since the book shows no H mint mark, most might have been lost in that wreck.

I cannot believe I found this post buried. I am bumping it up because I think this should be in the banner. It's in perfect condition. And a much rarer find than Spanish silver. Come on guys let's do some voting
