I've had some health issues lately and been unable to get out. Well I've been able to get out the last 3 days. Found old copper and buttons each day. Today I went to the same site I've been beating up. Got in the iron and went low and slow. I was rewarded with this beauty. These are just today's finds. Still running pretty high on adrenaline. Good luck to all. Art

Wow! Congrats on the find

I keep comparing yours to some of the others graded. Its a very nice coin

Are you taking offers ?
 

Congrats on getting it up so fast, a very worthy find.
 

Impressive, good for you!
 

Wow!
If the coin in the 'Link' is Mint State , yours is to or very close to it , IMO Almost the exact same coin , def, same Die Marriage .

With the reverse more detailed.

Def, a "Big Gig In the Sky" or 'GIS' Find.
Davers
 

I would like to thank everyone who commented, liked and voted on this find. I've been blessed to have some very good sites and lucky enough to get my coil over some nice finds. Good luck to all. Art

Congrats on your second banner find Art. Let me know if you need any help on one of those “very good sites” that are full of bust silvers and reales. Lol

Damn man this coin is incredible!!!! Just once I need to find a 1700s US silver. I already knocked out the one on top of my list. I need one of these as well. Surprised you don’t have a couple. But most of your sites are probably far too early. What an awful problem to have lol

I was thinking you might need some help with those gold producing sites. The site where I found this silver I have beat to death, but the iron keeps calling Art come check me out.
 

Holy crap, that is amazing, pre-1800's US silver! Normally when one finds 1700's silver, it is Spanish, I have almost never have seen 1700's US silver posted on this forum! Congrats on a coin find of a lifetime!

My newest fields and all the rest I can get into are pretty hammered at this point and crops about to go in anyway. Its been a great season for me though
 

You must be still sweating! Fantastic silver coinage.
