Found - 1821 Spanish 1 Reale

[ClutchCargo69]

Hello, I'm having trouble getting a picture of this coin...hope to get it on soon. I found it this past weekend in a farm field here in CT. It is a 1821 Spanish 1 Reale. It has a "Z" mint mark, with AG Assayer initials. The Z mint mark was puzzling, but then I read that it stood for Zacatecas in Mexico, this is where these coins were minted during Mexico's war for independance. Does anyone have any idea as to the rarity of the coin? I also found a 1807 over 6 Large Cent. Quite a day. Thanks.

Upload the pics on photobucket.com and then paste the "IMG" code on here. That should work.

I think it is Mexican silver.

Or, if that somehow is politically incorrect, you can call it undocumented migrant silver.

You crack me up!

Clutch:
Many years ago, when Grove wrote the 'bible' on Mexican coins he gave your coin (1821-1R-Z-AG) a value of between $10 (VG) and $25 (EF). No mintage is stated. There are differences in the dies (head touching or not touching rim, right column long or short) and these may effect current values. The coin was the 'common' coin of the day; nevertheless, its a valuable piece of history and a great find.

Awesome finds, congrats! You might try using the macro feature of the camera, will help the fuzzy picture, it is the tulip/flower button on the camera. I also use Irfanview to process pics and resizing. HH, Mike
