Got my best coin back today. whatcha think....

[ugotit22]

Hey guys
When i started out detecting 2 yrs ago one of my dreams was spanish silver. I felt that if i got a piece of 8, i would be in a way getting a piece of history like no other. Dont get me wrong coppers are awesome, but theres something about colonial silver thats just another level. Well low and behold in only my third month of detecting i found a 1/2 reale. I didnt want to just throw it in with my collection so a few months ago i talked with my local jewler. We both decided to set the coin in a custom silver ring. Now everytime a look down at my hand i can think of that day, and remember why i love this hobby so much.
thanks for lookin
keith
ps it was a 1797 1/2 r and i found it in 2007 thats why i put those dates on the side.

That coin is not destroyed its displayed so everyone who comes in contact with you can see how cool it is. Great way to show it off.

It beats having it sit in a cardboard box. Now you get to enjoy it everyday. I like the cut away reverse side so that you can see all of the coin. Good job!

Great way to display a very nice find. It sure beats keeping it in a coffee can where it hide from view. Thanks for posting and sharing such a great idea.

First of all congrats on a fantastic find and a fantastic idea and a fantastic outcome. Looks great. To bad certain members feel they have to cut someone down when its none of their business what you do with your find. Just a little jealousy I guess. WTG on your find and im sure you will wear it proudly. JYD.

All I have to do is find a 1/2 reale.......................

Great find and love the ring. The best thing is the coin isn't damaged and can

Great coin, and an even greater way to display it for the world to see! Way to think "outside the box"

 

[Discrimination Dave]

Hey YouGotIt!
We've all been trying really hard to get your buzz back,
Does this help?

I liked it when I first saw it. Everyone is right, looks better on your finger, than out of site in a coffee can somewhere. And BTW, the " BUZZ " is back.........NGE
