One day last fall i found 3 coins from 3 centuries and none were from the 21st centur!. Just thought i would share a photo to give some of you the "fever"



A 1906 indian head , an 1889 seated dime and a 1776 coin that i think is 1 reale . Hoping someone can help me with the last one

I may be able to help with the MX. coin ID.
Can you post pics of both sides and place a ruler in the pic?

Yes, 1776 Carlos III 1/2 real if 18mm diameter or 1 real if 20mm.
The "A" that is legible is the last 'a' in GRATIA; as in Dei Gratia. The coin is .9027 fine silver.
If you wish, turn both images 90 degrees clockwise for proper alignment (O: date on the bottom R: left pillar vertical)
Great saves !!

I believe it is a half reale according to the conversion table
