Having trouble finding Hammies lately and no joy Sunday, I didn't find much until this nice Half sovereign  popped up, not a bad day after all.

Very nice, well done.
That one has actually been in use if you look at the wear on the high spots. What tales it might tell if we were able to decipher its life.

Great find Geoff - a really nice early Vicky - the mintage was 1,063,928

So, you've got another 1,603,927 to find to corner the market!

Cheers
