Sure looks to be in great condition for the age. Is something like that worth some bucks ? My oldest coin is about 250 years younger - Neat find, Steve in so az

Very nice one, Simon. Just curious, if you keep track, how many of the English monarchs do you have coins for? I guess some of them are extra hard to find because of short reigns. Doug

I think i have a coin for most of them.It seems to me that the William and Mary coins are quite rare.I do have a few coppers from them but in bad condition.

Default Amazing....
Simon... It's one amazing find after another. Way to go!!! I have heard it is getting difficult to gain permission on some farm sites there... Is this true?

Looking forward to seeing more like this!
