Friggin un-real

[gforce1972]

Wow. So my daughter lost her earring at her elementary school during recess a few days ago. The school was probably built in the 1970s. Anyway she lost it on the soccer field. So tonight she and I run out there with the DFX to find it. 30 mins of searching and no earring. But what did I find? A friggin 1758 Spanish 1 real!!!! Minted in Sevilla.

I think I'd have her empty her jewelry box on that field so I could give that one some company!

Whoa!! holy crap what luck! Congrats! I wonder if the dirt in the soccer field was fill dirt from somewhere else?

either way I'm shocked absolutely amazing!

Wow....... guess it is safe to say her loss turned into a heck of a gain. Sure would spend some more time hunting the earring. With your luck the next thing may be a gold coin. Congrats

Wow. Beauty of a coin. I'd be going back too!

Awesome find! Congrats!

It's definitely in rough shape. The field certainly looks graded. Maybe fill. Who knows. I'm still stunned.

Friggin unreal is right. It is so unreal that it is funny. Most people never find one that old. I haven't that's for sure.

Love the coin, I would get all pumped up finding something like that.

I am probably the most clueless coin guy that ever lived and I have to look up every older coin I find just to see if its "rare, valuable, wanted, etc."

Just out of pure curiosity what would something like that be worth? I looked at a few pages online, but didn't see any prices. It would be priceless to me, probably have it's own little special case with a big flood light shining on it. (My wife would probably still just pretend to glance at it and say "oh that's nice" and go back to doing whatever it was she was doing.)

Just another perspective of where it may have come from. I did collections on a pinball/arcade/ jukebox route. You would be shocked at how many silver quarters showed up. Figure kids go into parents/grandparents sock draws or where ever they keep that kind of items. They see them as a free game of pinball, not rare or even silver coins. Miss swapping those out.
