1814 Ferdinand VII half real

toasted · Apr 4, 2018

Well its been over a month and around a dozen trips to the site where a circa 1730 house once stood. Lots of good finds spanning 17th-20th century but I finally found a silver older than a seated here. Little beat up but considering its only my second Spanish silver out of 8 with a date; I love it.

I would love to find Spanish silver in any condition, great score. Is that a conestago bell you got there?

congrats on the "very nice" coin because in my book, it would be an excellent find! even the busted bell is very cool, I would find a spot for it too.

Bent, holed and old...perfect! Been quite a few Spanish silvers popping up here as of late, so congratulations on digging another one. Congrats again on an excellent save, Ddf.
