Half reale yesterday Spanish silver

[lisfisher]

Went for a quick hunt yesterday on my lunch break down the road in one of the local fields. I've hit this spot many times before so it goes to show how things change when the farmers till the fields once a year. Add some wet ground conditions to that and the new stuff just seems to keep popping out of the ground. 1782 spanish half reale, Mexico city, assayer was "F.F" which would have been Antonio Forcada y Plaza

It's in great condition and best of all, no hole!

Yeah I have a couple of halves that are holed, I'm guessing they wore them on a string?
