Anne's the star

[Reiver]

Had another visit to a local permission, and the same field that last week produced two silver sixpence one Victoria and one George 3rd.

The day produced a few interesting finds, possibly a small lead token and a rather nice broken buckle, along with the usual suspects.

But for me the star of the day came just before lunch, with a is it or isn't it moment in the clod.
Then a lovely little Queen Anne sixpence revealed herself ,dated 1707.
I think (but stand to be corrected) it is post union with Scotland 1707- 14 and Edinburgh mint.
I only have one other Queen Anne coin , a shilling which is very slick, so was pleased to see this one in such good nick.

Again this field which I was pushed into detecting because of lambing , has produced the goods.

That is a great find mate, Queen Anne just don't come up very often. I have only ever found one coin of Anne, a shilling which was very worn

[Kenleyboy]

That is a lovely little coin and in superb condition . I like that buckle , one of my favourite things to find .

[Easylife]

Well done, great detail on that Edinburgh Anne sixpence.
The (pewter?) buckle would look good with a superglue repair.

[Oxgirl]

Very nice! Never had an Anne either, a relatively rare beastie!

[blackfeet]

That's a little beauty Well done

Thanks Easy , I like the buckle too, something a bit different. I was thinking the same thing about a repair job.
Cheers,

Thanks Kenleyboy,
I was pleased with the buckle, a bit different from the run of the mill buckle.

Well found and saved

Yes as most have already voiced the queen Anne coins are pretty scarce and those that do appear are mostly in fair or grotty condition . That one is outstanding considering its come out the ground. Congratulations ,a great find and I would not try to clean it more than it is now as you could decrease its value . .

Not sure why those Queen Anne's are so scarce, but no wonder you are pleased with it..

Thanks Bors,
That's as much of a clean as its going to get, not for the sake of value, as I never sell any finds, but because I don't want to overdo it.
Cheers

Great Sixpence.
Do like the regional mint marks on milled Silver.
Can`t recall seeing an Edinburgh before.
Well done and also on your other finds.
Cheers,
Dave.

Thanks for that Steve ,
I must say I'm pleased with how crisp this one is. As I said initially, the only other one I have found was a shilling which is pretty smooth, ID was from partial legend and hair style. But this one is a different kettle of fish.
Cheers,
Reiver.
