my new oldest silver coin

Very nice, congrats. The only thing I can seem to find prior to 1850, is the dirt itself. Lol
 
Those are really cool coins. I wish I could find one of those but I dont think that will happen unless I move to an area that its more likely. Congrats on a great find.
 
is it me or does the 5 look like a worn 8? I can't get a good pic this minute but the way it curves look like the 8 on my 1789 half reale. Congrats on finding it!!

Ya I couldn't get the picture right so u can see the five. It actually looks more like an "S".

Apparently there are two versions of the 5. One looks normal. And the one like mine is more like a "S". Must be where it was minted.
