Fortunately being about 24 carrat this hammered gold coin should straighten perfectly. Looks like Edward 111 post treaty half noble Calais mint 'e' in centre of reverse. Just got to love this hobby :) :) :)

Robfinds , OH MY GOD ! You UK guys are making us Yanks look like wankers - I cant

believe it - And to think if I found a buffalo nickel , I'd be bragging about it on here !

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN ! Argentium.
 
Wow, an incredible find. Congrats on the banner. :thumbsup:
 
That's awesome. Anyone have a date/time span for this coin? Looks great even bent. Big congrats!
 
Just looking at your coin makes my heart skip. Probably a good thing I'll never find one or it would stop altogether.

Congrats on a Banner find.

Hope you find a bucket full of em.

Definately worthy of the banner, these are rarer to find than Celtic Staters. The one I found looked like that & I straighten it myself (Scary task & I don't recommend it, I just wasn't willing to pay £100-200).

I think they are nearer 22-23K, can't remember what Nigel Mills told me now :icon_scratch:

Search that field carefully, we got two Gold Hammered off the same field :wink:

BIG CONGRATS & I HOPE 2009 CONTINUES THE ROLL (I think it will) :thumbsup:

Absolutely Outstanding! :thumbsup:
 
:o Great coin and start of the year. Cant wait to see the pics of it straighten out. Sieve that field :P
 
An OLDEN GOLDEN coin, the holy grail for us MDers. Hope you find more so those of us in the "new" country can live vicariously through you! :tongue3:

Are you near the village of Over? I don't know where it is in England but that's where my ancesters are from. I bet they dropped some good stuff...

Congrats!

hello Born Free I live in Yorkshire, not sure where over is .. over :wink:
 
Over is between Otherside and the Hinterlands.

:P



I'm guessing that even though it's on the Finds Banner now :thumbsup: it won't get the number of replies the find deserves--probably because it is not an american coin ::), and also perhaps because it doesn't look as yellow and glittery in the photo as it, in fact, is.

Well, that coin is worth more than 10 common-date american gold coins.


So, I'm going to have to leave another reply. :) Congratulations again.



Best Wishes,


Buckleboy
