GOLD QUEEN VICTORIA SOVEREIGN 1842

[mattdiver]

Hello folks. Found my first gold sovereign.It is Queen Victoria 1842 in excellent condition .Can't believe it has been in the soil for so long and come out looking so good.
It was about 9 inches deep. I have searched the field for nearly 20 years on and off.It was ploughed up last time about 10 years ago.You never know in this amazing hobby what you could find next .
I had look on the net and it could be rare coin as appears to have mis strike on the last letter A of GRATIA. Any input would be welcomed .Thanks .

Very Nice..Even though the field was ploughed 10 years before....artifacts have a way of coming to surface.
10 years ago!! Nice ... Gives us hope on those farm fields.
