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 :) :) :)

Don't worry I soon will be :)
Do you need a hand :D :D
 
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.
 
Sent the coin off today to be straightened, hope it goes well is an understatement.
 
Wow!! Beautiful gold coin!! :thumbsup:
 
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:
 
SUPER. AS USUAL. :thumbsup:

carefull.....Nice find, what kind /or brand metal detector was you usein?
 
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 .
