New Site Yields 1761 Coin

[xlt nh]

Started a new site today...lots of targets and a great time!

Found some buttons, a 1935 dog liscense, and a 1761 coin that has a shield and crown on the reverse...I have no idea where it's from (I'm thinking maybe France)...

Any help with the coin would be DEEPLY appreciated!!

Thanks for looking and HH,

I like those old dog tags. Way to go on some cool finds!

Nice find! Your coin is from the Netherlands. City of Utrecht. The unit of currency is called the Duit. Below is a photo of both obverse and reverse of the coin. They list for about 10 Euro in fair, non-dug condition (probably worth about 5-8 bucks as is). This example listed for around 30 Euro.

Wow! Thanks Buckleboy (U 2 Mike)!! Can't believe it....wish I had a way of actually seeing the journey the coin took to get here...

History at it's best...that's what this hobby is all about.

Best of luck,

Congrats Hank that is a cool find! You gotta wonder how that stuff winds up around here. As you know we do have a lot of British coinage in the dirt around New England. I think we need to hunt the lowlands near the ocean to find all that Spanish silver that was lost in the early 17th century
