🥇 BANNER BIG OLD FRENCH SILVER (1721)

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

Biggest, Oldest Silver French Coin, and what a surprise.

EDIT; Just figured out what appears to be damage on the obverse is not, turns out it is an overstrike of a previous (1720) type and you should be able to see it quite well in the zoomed pic.

EDIT added a dirty pic.
Here's a dirty pic., a frame taken from the video clip.
and the whole "find" story is on page 2 or 3.

Nova detector, you know I would have taken you many times, but you have the disadvantage or "working" and I often go with other dudes.

We will work it out my friend.
