No that is really good compared to the state of my first one and is still the worst that I have ever found.
This could be the start of a worst hammereds topic!

Well done John. Your first hammered coin is a very special thing. Savour that milestone
Hope it’s your first of many.

Yes I really don’t like Roman coins, I’m not joking

The first one is always the hardest to find and no matter what the condition, very precious.
Took me 5 years to find one. It’s battered, piece missing but I still love and admire it

hammered is a hammered, many are in bad condition but they all count and to get a great one is like 10% and a fine condition rare one maybe 1% maybe less but a bad one can make your detecting day a good one and as we all know when they are in the field that the 1% hammered could be close by. great find.
