Work took me out to PA today to an old farm. Detected for a little while after my job was done and got some finds, including some sort of agricultural token, a V-Nickel, and a wafer thin silver that, to my eye, is completely wiped. Huge bummer because trime and half reale are on my bucket list.

But who knows, i've posted pretty wasted coins on here that you guys somehow identified...so...

Here's the agricultural token. It's a Cyrus McCormick International Harvester centennial commemorative coin. 1931. donated to the landowner's mom since it was farm related.

Nice finds. The one next to the dime could be half dime size, so that would be a possibility.
 

I'm putting my money on Half Reale.
 

no idea but still like your finds
 

I'm thinking half real...whatever it is , great find!
 

Congrats on your finds, I think you have your half real
 

With the diameter I'm thinking it's perhaps smaller than a 1/2 reale. It renews my wish that coins could talk.

Nice digs - rest assured it's old!
 

Maybe a trime?
 

Thats a tough one, hard to see but I'm thinking half reale because of how thin it is. Maybe trime too. Either way cool find!
 

1/2 Reale 18mm
Trime 14mm
Get a measuring sir and let us all know.
Nice to see an old "dug"silver posted up, congrats.
 

Well done sir!

Half real is my guess.
 

Half Reale is just slightly smaller than a dime, almost the same size. I would lean toward half dime. Try zooming halfway on your phone camera and posting a couple more close ups that are nice and crisp. Also try tilting the coin to potentially reveal some more details.
