dooly Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi all I have had a great weekend detecting in Cumbria and found this belting Hammered Gold coin It is a James the VI 1604-1609 9th Coinage Thistle Crown (48 Scottish shillings) in pure gold 1.9g I would like to ask you all .. What grade would you say the coin was as there is a HUGE difference in value between F and VF and i cannot make my mind up enjoy the pictures Please check out my other detecting finds posted in the Europe section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I would personally say a good fine. The weaknesses prevent it from being VF. So I would say F+. Congratulations on finding it by the way!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
