rooneydog Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 2 years of looking (detecting) and £600 later this coin is expensive so please can someone ID - I am quite useless at hammered with not much legend. Even with a legend I struggle Weight is 0.99g diameter (what is left) about 17mm. Thanks Quote

Coinery Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 The broken left fleur is a dead giveaway for crown 11, so not difficult at all on this occasion. This crown here has a few distorting dings, but is the same punch 11 as yours. Quote
rooneydog Posted August 1, 2015 Author Posted August 1, 2015 Is that image taken from an actual coin, if so fantastic work. Quote
Coinery Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Thanks! It's a teeny-weeny bit out of focus, believe it or not, but great for showing details like these, and SO much better than drawn images. As much as I love BCW's work, their line-drawings of the Elizabeth I busts (the same ones you see in Spink's) don't assist a tenth compared to a photographic image of the bust itself. Quote
