Hi Gang ,
Just found this today 23 Nov 09 at a soccer field in Germantown Ohio:
1790 Half Spanish Reale with Mexico mint "M" with "o" over it.
This is just a little smaller than a dime and very thin. It is in good shape but a little dented.
Help! I can not find this coin online or in my coin book. Mine has a "IV" on the obverse in the upper left quadrant, whereas the ones shown online show only a half Reale with "IIII" marking vs my "IV." I read about a transition coin but theu never showed it. Is that what mine is and does that make it worth more?
Here is another view with LED light.
