UK Gold of the first water!

It's a half-Noble made of the most noble metal. It lies underground for 600 - 700 years and comes up with tremendous detail and the 'look of gold'.

Incredible. Have fun up in the stratosphere with this one, you'll come down a bit maybe next year.

I've always said it's a better chance to strike it rich by working for it metal detecting than taking the chance at winning the lottery. But, the chance of a find like that in the States? It's better odds in the lottery, my friend!!!! Excellent find with excellent character. Congrats on the Banner! :icon_king:

Why was there never a picture of this coin straightened out? Did it turn out to not be real?

Pretty certain I did post one. Would not have been on this thread though. Would have been a couple of weeks after sending it away for repair. Coin of course real .
