Simply put Ron, BANNER FIND! Congrats on the beautiful gold coin, besides the little knick it's a real high value coin.

May the sheep sleep well tonight knowing you tied it up with this monster find.

Killer looking spout and hammies also, your having an excellent hunt.

Great Find!! Saw where an AU-58 went for $6,600. Yours is not an AU. Still....an auction estimate at probably$3-$4,000 I'm sure. Congrats and Banner. Hogge

Gold in general is a banner find, but old gold is excellent. My banner vote is also in.

Awesome banner worthy for sure.

Yours is the slightly rarer 'elephant & castle' below bust type:

2010 Book prices:
F - £550
VF - £2000
EF - £6000

Its a scarce coin which I would be over the moon to fill a gap with!

This one sold (I think) for £700 & is not the same date but the same price ranges:
