Got this 178x (can't read the last digit) half reale this morning. This is the 3rd reale I've pulled from this site over time.
2 different pix of the front , with different lighting. And a pix of the back. The reale came out dull-grey, so it needed the "spit & tinfoil" trick, Just to get anything to show, and to pull a date from it.
The last pix is the "before" pix, with a few other targets from the vicinity : A pistol ball, a crude underwear button, and a nuisance 1952 wheatie .
I know that 1780s coins are a "dime a dozen" on the east coast. But here in CA, they're hard to come by !
