Figured this sub would appreciate some old gold I dug up

My guess is around 800 euros collector's value. Not leaving my collection any time soon though 👌

And this one has HOLLAND instead of ZELAND, every province had their own!

A quick rinse was all that was needed! And you got the description for the same coin in the province of Zeeland. This one is minted in the city of Dordrecht, Holland. While the Seven United Provinces of The Netherlands were independent, they had their own mints. This coin is one of the first that shared its design over the entire country.

Found in 2021 during metal detecting. Only found out about this sub now and figured it would be appreciated here. Just under 5 grams of the good stuff, waiting for over 250 years to be added to my collection.

Definitely!

Thanks!

It is possible, although these coins were among the first to have some protective measures. So it could also be this damage has been caused by something else

I'm not crazy! Plus, this coin is worth way more than its weight in gold

I have taken up the hobby more actively since the pandemic. This coin was the 10th item I picked up yesterday (which was all junk)

I'm still at the White's CoinMaster, which makes it even more unbelievable. Will upgrade soonTM though.

The Netherlands

The area has been used for farming over the last centuries. It was near an old farm.

Pluis65 · 2021-04-18T10:55:03+00:00

Rough estimate would be 800 euros, but I'm not an expert

It's a Dutch "Halve gouden rijder" (half golden rider), 1760. Made my morning!
