Spanish and Seated Silver

[angellionel]

Late this afternoon my E-Trac was calling out to me to take her out for a hunt but I just didn't feel like taking a long drive. I opted to hit a local site for a short hunt instead. It worked out quite well. I scored with four silver coins, a 1925 mercury dime, two seated dimes, dated 1874 and 1889, and a 1759 Half Reale. :cheesysmile:

At first I thought this large piece was junk, but it's actually sterling silver. :smitten:

And there were a few wheat cents, and one Indian Head cent, dated 1900.

You found where I dropped my coin! I really wanted it returned in case I lost it so I punched my initials in it twice "BD" LOL I can forward my address so you know where to send it! Awesome find, I'd love to get a Spanish, but they are not very common around this neck of the woods.

I thought I recognized the initials.:lol: Those Half Reales are tiny and light. They do make for some exciting finds. :yes:

Any idea what the chunk of silver was? Awesome coins for sure, even if they are BD's

Nice early silver. Makes the Merc look like modern change :lol: That counterstamped Half Reale is sweet!! If anyone has a hallmark book, you may be able to ID the initials. Is there a CC on the back of that '74 Seated?? That would be nice :cheesysmile: Great little hunt Angel!!

The first thing I did when I saw the mint year was to check for that mint mark. :lol:

It would have been better if that silver piece had been a coin, but I'll take it anyway. :cheesysmile: :lol:
