Hi, have been tasked with finding out whether the following coin is of any value at all...

it is thought to be an Elizabethan silver threepenny bit, the 18mm variety my research leads me to believe, though I havent seen it yet just had it described to me, it was found during some excavation in merseyside and is said to be in very good condition tho I am not a collector so do not know the exact perameters that would grade the exact condition of the coin.

I think the date on the coin is supposedly 2 years after Elizabeth becoming queen, which by my calculation would make it 1600??? not too sure. All help would be much appreciated.

By the way I registered under the above name and the forum would not let me post, tho when I logged out it would as a guest. <_<
