yesterday's 8 reale after cleaning

Soaked it on lemon juice overnight. Really cleaned it up.

oh wow, I really like that one!!

That is a fairly early, big silver one. Those are my favorite Reales and I like the 1/4 Reales as well.

Very nice congrats

A coin like that in KY is remarkable! Great save, and congrats on such a beauty!

Love those big silvers, definitely a high one on my bucket list. If you like the looks of polished coins try rubbing baking soda, water, and the coin between your fingers. Have had great success with this technique in the past.

This coin has really got my interest. It's got gorgeous detail. Most counterfeits are pretty ugly and crude. Have you found any porential leads as to what it may be? It's a killer find and great job on the cleaning.

Nice find! Thanks for sharing...

Looks great. Lucky there was a lot of silver plate left, because with less leaving it overnight in lemon juice would have been a bad idea. I'd much rather find that than a genuine one.

Took your suggestion on the soda, really cleaned it up. Bright silver now
