3 Colonial coin day.....1775 Spanish silver (updated copper pics)

[93vector]

Hit an old cartpath today near my house.

1775 is a half reale? any thoughts on value?

I believe the other 2 coppers are King Georges......I can make out a bust when I wet them and angle in the light.


last 2 pics are of the better copper cleaned up a bit....2nd must be a counterfeit, much lighter in weight

A few years ago that half real was worth retail $5/$10 in VG/F condition.
It's composition is .9030 silver; or .0981 oz.
Great find!!

Great looking real but your chances are probably better with George coppers than reals for $$$ finds. You'd probably get $20-$25 on Ebay.

That is one sweet hunt. The Spanish silver is all that. I have seen all kinds
of it come up but have yet to find any myself. It's a shame it's not worth
more. There is no way i could ever sell anything i have found unless my
little girl looked up at me and said daddy i am hungry.
