Metal detecting yesterday on a havest sugarbeet field and found what I believe to be a 1697 silver sixpence coin but unsure if its the 1st or 3rd minted coin?
Never seen one before so nice to find a different coin.
Found using Minelab pro and Garret AT pro pinpointed.
Thankyou

It's to do with the style of the bust. I'd have to look it up. I know it's usually vert subtle differences. Will see if I can find unless anyone can help before handMr Hammered wrote: Wed Nov 27, 2024 8:31 am How do you tell if its a 1st or 3rd edition.

Nice one!
I found one the same year, but it is a love token and very worn - I also read that you can distinguish by different bust types - will send mine later for someone to help me ID.
