25 years ago i found this coin and it still hurts looking at it.

I think this coin must have been almost uncirculated when dropped. Over the years of being in the ground it had taken its toll, maybe if found it the year before it would have been perfect.

It still gave me a massive buzz finding it so it still gets a place with my best finds.

Wow! Was that a surface find or a metal detector find? Why sad, as it seems better to have it than not?

Hi, it was a detector find. Yeah much better to have it, but such a shame about the damage. I guess its not done too bad saying it was rolling around in a plough field for many years.

I bet a few people over the years have lost their heads due to losses. Maybe not so bad with a sovereign loss. Well i hope not !!😨
