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 :) :) :)

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!

OK BlackX no problem. Can now see the 'E' in the centre of the reverse better it's a closed E style (so the coin is not as rare as i first thought) still a rare coin though.

Amazing find, that coin would grade pretty highly too if it wasnt for the bent. Id be hunting that field again real soon.

If you're getting beaten by the plough, you might need better running shoes.
