1700's silver and Large Cent (Cleaned LC pics added 8/6)!!!

Hi all,
I found a 2 bit 1775 Mexican Reale and also a 1839 (edit below) Large Cent August first. Sorry I don't know how to cross post better. Here is the link to the Illinois discussion forum where I posted photos and narrative.

Aug, 6 added pics of the LC just cleaned. It ended up being 1826.

Happy hunting!

I need to recant everything about date, as the coin soaks longer, what I think I see clearly is not the case. I will have to wait a couple days or weeks to get a good read (hopefully) on the date. Sorry.

Re: 1700's silver and Large Cent!!!

As I've cleaned the coin some, the date is clear and it is 1821, not 1839 (for the LC). The coin will soak for a couple weeks in mineral oil, and I will gently wipe it with a q-tip often. When it is cleaned, I will post cleaned pics.
