For those that don't know, Gold Hammered is the hardest gold coin of any, I have 1, Dad has 1, but we have more Celtic/Georgian/Victorian than this. Its a find of a lifetime in the UK. As far as I'm concern.

That's good enough for me! You just got my vote.

WOW nice looking coin. Any gold coin found gets my banner vote. Congrats.

Jimmy,

I'm going to ask what I ask most on here (after a valueable find); What did the Landowner say, when you showed him/her?

 

[Zodiacdiverdave]

Congrats Jimmy on the Banner. Well worth it.
