Found a Spanish Coin Today 1868, 1879 IH , and 07 Barber Dime

[JimInPhilly]

Got out in between rainfalls today..Wasnt going to hunt but then I seen the mailman out delivering his mail in the lousy weather, that gave me some inspiration to get a little wet ... Got pretty muddy , but had some nice finds... Found an old Spanish coin . Cant find any info on this particular coin....On the obverse it reads: 1868 ISABELLA POR LA DE DIOS Y LA CONST....the reverse:REINA DE LAS ESPANAS 10 Es.......Dont think its made of silver,maybe copper.....
Also found a 1907P Barber dime....An 1879 IH... And some old relics.A thimble and watch face.
Enjoy

Great-looking Barber, the watch face looks very old, and I can look up the Spanish coin when I get home from work.
Nice hunting!

Really weird. I have that same coin soaking in Olive Oil right now. Even more weird. It has a hole in the same place. Mine is not a good as yours. It was in a farm field that had been hit with fertilizer a while but I can make out the detail and I believe my date is the exact same date. Must have been a popular necklace coin back in that time.

Take Care,

Jim
