I thinks it's a James I sixpence but not sure. Either way it's my first hammered coin and hopefully it won't be my last! Over the moon is an understatement! image.jpg image.jpg

Amazing find! 1604 is clearly readable, it looks to be dropped when almost new. Congrats on your first, I hope you find tons more!
