50 coin day: still shaking...need ID help!

Leslie(nova scotia)

From the land of the Bluenose....was one of those days where the wind would rip right through you. In other wordss a good day to detect.

Left early after making the boss breakfast in bed and hit a few places in Halifax. The first school yard I hit yielded 50 coins in no time flat so I thought I'd wander down to one of the old spots that I have hammered for years along the far side of the harbour. Here the first target turned out to be a musket ball and the second...............made my heart stop. Not quite sure if it is Spanish or French but mister man was the old ticker a pumping!<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cc23b3127cce8f94f880a5ef00000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

Carefully cleaned her off a bit and took a few photos of her on the hood of Goquicksi when still shaking, returned from the path. Here is one side.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cc23b3127cce8f94f88aa5e500000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

And here is the other.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cc23b3127cce8f94f888a5e700000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

just from condition alone. Congrats and hope someone has the answer to the id on it.
 
Looks like very old silver to me! WTG!!!! :)
 
From the land of the Bluenose.....well the general concensus is the coin is a reproduction and can you believe it from a child's game. Well it still was a rush when I dug it up. Took a knife and chipped at the edges and it is plated. Had passed a magnet test. maybe next time I'll get the real thing!
