Some better pictures of the Edward1V, second reign 1471-83 half groat I found the other day. Canterbury mint, mint mark rose, letter C on breast.

are you supposed to report to the GOVT even when you find just one coin? how much do you have to find before they take it away from you and then sell it off? I would want it as much for the historical value as for any monetary value. I would hate to have to turn over every thing I found like that.

This concession actually protects metal detecting as a hobby. It also protects property owners when million dollar finds are made on their land.

Is it my imagination or does Edward1V on this coin not look very pleased that he's been found? Nice find robfinds!

I woke him from a long sleep, he will get over it . With the field so loaded with pebbles, it was lucky to find it not totally smashed up.

Thanks for letting me know lol! That's how I usually look at 6am when my 7 year old daughter wakes me up too! Just thought that I'd post a thread to the ebay auction for your coin as well . . . http://cgi.ebay.com/Edward-1V-Half-Groat-/290453039297?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Coins_BritishHammered_RL&hash=item43a059a8c1

Cheers

Good luck with the auction, I hope it sells high

If you find two coins, either silver or gold, you have to declare them. Just one coin is ok, as long as it's not part of an hoard.

If you did hand in more that 1 coin (1 you can keep), then they do value it for is historial value as well, & you get the money, so its a win/win situation. (Other than the 1.5 years it takes to sort it all out)
