Title: Re: Gold coins clod shot.(10/4/14) Post by: Neil on April 10, 2014, 04:26:40 PM Great result Doug - I take it you know that the George IV sovereigns are quite desirable amongst collectors due to the relative low mintages.
Two in one hole is just plain greedy! I'm presuming you checked the hole again after the second one? ::) Congratulations on a great find Neil Title: Re: Gold coins clod shot.(10/4/14) Post by: Doug on April 10, 2014, 04:35:20 PM Great result Doug - I take it you know that the George IV sovereigns are quite desirable amongst collectors due to the relative low mintages.

Title: Re: Gold coins clod shot.(10/4/14) Post by: probono on April 11, 2014, 06:34:25 AM What a cracking day out for you.
I'm always amazed by the number of half sovereigns that people have dropped in the past - especially given their relatively high worth. Only found one so far myself, but I live in hope for another! :) Title: Re: Gold coins clod shot.(10/4/14) Post by: Doug on April 11, 2014, 06:40:46 AM What a cracking day out for you. I'm always amazed by the number of half sovereigns that people have dropped in the past - especially given their relatively high worth. Only found one so far myself, but I live in hope for another! :) Thanks, I am sure the relativity small size of the coin may have something to do with the numbers we find?
