Half Reale ( i believe )

[sgratrider]

Went back to the colonial town not far from me where i hit the half cent. Not being a coin expert, i believe i hit a half reale and some other goodies last week. Yesterday was back there again and hit some kind of large Vermont copper. Cant get a date and the reverse is spent. My research tells me this is between 1785-1788. With lots of varieties. No clue which one i have. Got permission through a friend to hit a friend of his property up in this same town. His property abuts a good size stream and appears to be more than a good acre to search. Looking forward to that. Oh yea, any help on the partial buckle is appreciated.

thanks for lookin, Todd

Vermont colonials are tough to get , even in Vt. . 8) half reale and buckle = very good day

If you invert one of the silver coin images 180 degrees, you'll have proper alignment. It's not a head facing left (as it now appears) but it will transform to a crown over a shield; like this: http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-71145948-bella-monmeda-medio-real-fernando-vi-1747-mmo-_JM
