Hiya all
found this a few years ago.
Half crown of York 10.5 gm.
It is said uncertain half crowns were made by inferior and sometimes by exceedingly unskilful, workmen
I don't think this was, but who made it ?
any ideas.
Sorry. ?
Metal detecting is an amazing way of collecting coins. Coins that I would never have been able to afford. The double crown was found about 2005 on plough land, I had a 50/50 agreement with the farmer so had the coin looked at by mike vosper coins via internet who gave me a valuation of 600 pounds.. so even though it was found it still cost me 300 that was a lot of money to find for a coin.
But finding it was such an amazing buzz.
Thanks, only way of photography at the moment is my phone as the computer has died a death. Have a good camera but no way of getting the pictures to my phone ?... need to invest in a new computer, then I should be sorted ?
Any information on this coin would be much appreciated.
A very nice Charles l double crown I have.
I have been told that the reverse die is the same as number 200 in the famous Schneider collection but the obverse has the mintmark in a different place. Could this be an over mark ?
Would this be quite a rare double crown with the overmarks and its condition ?
