great find stoppsy, i would be very happy with that one.....my last coin find was, ........one cent.....and it was deep in the hard stuff. not worth much, but still a find....cheers

G'day Stoppsy nice find just googled and those old English coins are still worth a bit. Yours looks in pretty good nick too. I reckon your boys will be happy with it though. Here's a link where I had a bit of a look at.

Good find. The only old coins I have found so far were a couple of 1 cents 1, 2 cent a 3pence and a 1936 penny that has so much cancer corosion on it that it is hard to read. Would be nice finding a good one.

very nice stoppsy

Stoppsy,

Ripper find, definitely on my coin bucket list.

Is it larger than a Florin?

Nice find i hope to find one someday!

Did you happen to stumble upon shear / zones two boys at all!

Can't wait to hear of their adventures and finds!

Stoppsy, I am also on the AMDRH forum and believe me to find a Crown is an incredible find. Make sure your children look after it. Soak in cloudy ammonia to clean up but I wouldn't try and clean it further. Again mate, that's an outstanding find. Well done.

Willo

Is it a Crown or half a crown ?

Very nice Stoppsy,not a lot of wear for its age..will look great with a bit of a cleanup

Cheers...Dave
