While hunting a new site in NC with a new hunting partner I uncovered the single best find of my career, 1785 Spanish Reale in A1 Shape, like it was a brand new coin.  Excluding the 1,084 Silver Dime Cache I recovered, this is the best find I've made.
The whole story is under "Todays Finds".

Its a nice coin & one I still want to find in any condition, but yours is far from 'brand new' icon_scratch  Lots of wear on the head particularly.

TOO BUSY TO DETECT, YOU'RE TOO BUSY!!!

I really wish my new camera would get a closer shot.  This one is fuzzy and it does make it look much more worn than it is.  I need to get another camera.  You can actually feel the edges on each of the curves.  This is by far the best condition I've seen one in.
