Valuation

The coin is a half guinea of William III, which is dated 1695 on the reverse. Most early milled gold coins that come out of the ground are not in good condition. This specimen has a few marks on both sides but has only slight wear and would grade about VF.

As the market for gold coins is still strong a pre-sale auction estimate on this find shouldn’t be any lower than £1,200.
