Nice!

Great looking Mexico City 8R.
I was hoping it would be a 'TH' assayer; but still a fantastic find in that condition; 26.99 grams of .896 fine silver.

Thanks Don some info there I didn't know, maybe I will get lucky and find some more this spring I have a few more and lots of pics from this period I will keep posting them as I think a bit of show-n-tell will help winter go away faster.....HH....Bonz

Hi Scrappy, it is a "half" dollar , around the edge is stamped "half a dollar".....Bonz

 

[1320]

Did you clean these or have them professionally restored? They are all in amazing shape!

My mistake - even better.

 

[Steve in PA]

Some great coins there, particularly the 8 Reale and the 1807 Draped Bust Half

Hi 1320..no I haven't cleaned them only soap and water they are pure silver and not debased so they come out of the ground very clean. They are loses from skirmish and battle sites so as you can see the dates put them within a few years of the war, that equates to very little circulation and their condition.......HH.....Bonz
