Amazing early French silver hunt! Bucket list 1,2 and 3.

[Aureus]

Hi everyone. It's my first post on this forum as I usually go one the Canadian Metal detecting one. Some members invited me to post here so here it goes.

Had a most amazing hunt to date even thou I had some very good finds in the past (people here who know me from other forum will confirm)

On a hunt in Montreal pulled 3 early french silvers.

The first one is a Louis XV child 1/5 Ecu 1715-1722 (it's double struck on an older coin I believe,so no date)
An other was a clipped silver coin that seems to be a Louis XIV (1643-1715) with the Fleur de Lys counter stamp as to be used only in New France and the French colonies.
But it's the third one that made me fall on my chair...
BLANC COURONNE CHARLES VIII 1483-1493 !!!!!! Then Iron Patch helped me ID my coin (as I was searching in the 1600-1700 range) I thought he was kidding me, maybe I had something crazy in my ear... Than he says those coins were in use for over 200 years after being struck because of the coin shortage,especially in New France. Just amazing, not in my wildest dreams would I hope to find one here.

Glad this got bumped back up, otherwise I might have missed it. What a sight those are to behold. I don't recall seeing another 15th century N. American found coin posted on t-net.

I hope that when the rules about early membership prevent banner that there is automatic consideration on the mods' part to move to "best of," because this deserves not to be relegated to the post graveyard.

Thanks man. I understand the rules thou, does make sense.

Aureus, I have a suggestion-take and post a picture of all three coins with a nice background. That might help the case for putting it on the banner, since the real magnitude of your finds is that you found not one but three very early French silver coins. Just an idea.
