sliver of silver?

[Goes4ever]

the only thing I think this COULD possibly be is a piece of a reale? It rang up on my x-70 as a solid 38, is it possible that is what it is? I fould it in a farmers field where a 1 room school used to be

i think it's cool that some of the detail is visible on the part left from the rough cut. (picture 3 anyway to see what i mean)

am I imagining things, or is there a "88" on the piece?

yeap, 1788

but wouldn't the date be on other side of piece? if it is matched up like the above photo?

88 either way is 88

what I mean is it was matched up on the face side of the reale, right? then that side should be the one with the date, not the other side of piece? Am I making sense?

I understand. IMO we dont have an ID. Its probably 1788 and cut from a colonial coin but I dont know which one. We have 88 on one side and 00 on the other. Take a pic of a worn down reale and try to match it to the backside.

I don't have any worn down reales to take a pic of

I meant to say search for a pic on line and take it and try to match your coin sliver to it. I dont have time right now sorry..
