Banner in my book.

Anything from the 1700's is a banner in my book for that matter.

Well done.

I live in upstate NY, with 3500 feet on a portion of the original Susquehanna turnpike, so flat land meant lots of people camping out, during their journey to and from Wattles Ferry

A killer find - congrats !
It's the same year as the one I found but yours is in better condition than mine.

Nice. Someday I'll get one to.

Outstanding find! Spanish silver is always a ahogh mark in my thinking. And the best part is that you didn't have to tire yourself getting to the dig site! How old is your property? Hopefully there is more to be found! Keep us posted!

Great save !!
From the series 1773-1789. .9027 fine.
The senior assayer of “FF” at the Mexico City Mint was Francisco de la Pena (1733-1784). The other “F” was Francisco Arance Cobos (1777-1803).
Don in SoCal.

Wow, thank you for the information I truly appreciate it. I found another one of these a year and a half ago. In my back yard. But as to the date all I could make out was 17, the last two numbers of the date were worn. However, I did find an OM mint mark on it.
