I Found an 1781 Spanish Real!

[sean_carb]

Living in an old part of a town that was settled in the mid 1700's has its advantages. Infront of my house is about 4 acres of field that was farmed heavily until the 1940's. Now, I am new to this hobby, and my finds so far have been mediocre. A few toasted IH's, a few colonial buttons, and some change. My interests in the hobby were beginning to fade when I found this about 100ft from my front door! It's my first silver coin and is in great shape! Should I clean it more? If so, with what? Also, any history or info about this coin is appreciated. Thanks and HH!

I have seen them on eBay for $40 up to $250

the lower of the range, $40 would be a good day for that one

Like everyone else, I wouldn't clean it any further. Gives it that extra little "Yeah, I'm old" look. lol
