2 Draped Bust Half Cents, 2 Reales,1 Real

[cannonball]

I had a day off so I decided that I needed to get back in the swing of things. I picked up where I left off. First coin up was a 1806 small 6 Half Cent. That gave me a little burst of energy. It was enough energy to help me dig up an 1781 Real, an 1804 2 Reales and an 1807 Half Cent. I'M BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS! Feel free to jump in if you can attribute the coins. Be Well...

Great saves !!
Your 2R was minted in Mexico City; it contains .896 fine silver and measures 28mm.
The assayer's initials are TH. It's from the series 1792-1808. The edge should be corded.

Twelve years of metal detecting and I've found ZERO half cents! What an amazing day!

The 1781 Carlos III is a 1/2 R if it's 18mm and a 1R if its 20mm. Both are .9027 fine silver.
The half R is designated by only an 'R'; the 1R will show '1R'. The assayers (FF) are Francisco Antonio del la Pena y Flores and Francisco Arance y Cobos. (1777-1783)

Wow what a great day! I've been in a mega drought. Can't wait to bust out of it. Hopefully like that

Two NICE DB half cents!!! GREAT hunt!!!

 

[Silvermonkey]

That is a remarkable collection of finds! BANNER worthy in my estimation. The condition of the two half cents is damn near perfect, given their time in what must be very gentle soil. Well done cannonball!!!!!

No... you just find solid gold watches :P

 

[hbrown66]

Wow...that's awesome

No... you just find solid gold watches :P

Well, that's true! Guess I shouldn't complain about not getting half cents! Does seem odd that I've never dug one here in New England, though...

Great day of hunting!
The coppers are in nice condition.
The silvers certainly had seen some rough handling while in circulation.
But certainly top self recoveries.
