Your coin find is amazing. Never saw a coin that nice. Guess the sand kept it from collecting junk.

I found some coins in a school swing area that uses rubber tire bits for ground cover--sweetest clean looking coins ever!

salt water but at the very top of the beech.

Been puzzled by its condition ever since I found it guess it was dropped pretty soon after it was minted and lay under feet of sand until the day the storm uncovered it

Its cabinet toned, so the only thing that makes sense, is that it was lost the week before you found it by a kid playing with it/losing it.

I guess you know our grading is nothing like the US system. If it was sent to Spink the leading UK authority on coins, I'm pretty sure they would say Very Fine (VF). I would add its a Good Very Fine.
