That is a Spanish Reale.

If it's the size of a quarter, it's a quarter reale

size of A half dollar? it's a half reale, ect, ect,

not an expect though.

Spanish money, cool!

it's ~90% silver.

This is all just my general coin knowledge. I do not ( currently ) collect this coin.

Notice, the pillars on either side on the reverse? Have you heard of the pilliar dollar?

Other folks surly know more.

Does your friend also work in the LCS? http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/coins/323344-what.html

Anyway, it is a 1R minted in Mexico City.

No,I bought it from my friend.but he is so paranoid,he wanted me to tell everyone I got it from a coin store,and to not mention him,but I had convinced him to let me tell the truth the second time I uploaded it.

Nice! Great coin! I think you ripped your friend off for only a buck:-)

We had no idea what it was.I thought it was fake but offered him a dollar just out of curiosity.

That's the best buck you ever spent! That's a reale! I got one in a bundle of silver coins I bought from a garage sale for 25 bucks but mine has a hole

 

[Nickel Searcher 219]

25 bucks!!are you kidding me!!I did alot better than i thought.

Post it under the coins section and a better photo comparing it to something to get the denomination and someone will be able to get you a value for your coin.

It's a 1/2 real; minted in Mexico City; assayer FM; .9027 fine silver. If it were a 1R, it would show that designation; otherwise, simply as a 'R' means it's a 1/2 R.

PS: It's retail valued at $10 in VG (2013 North American Coins and Prices, by David C. Harper)

That's a cool find. The oldest coin I've dug is a reale dated 1758. I don't collect them but may some day.
