<p>[QUOTE=&quot;steelheadwill, post: 1779527, member: 28116&quot;]Thanks goldducat,&nbsp; I recovered my example while metal detecting a shoreline site</p><p>&nbsp; that has seen activity since first settlement ca 1600.</p><p>It is a 1780 &#039;Holland&#039; (HOL rather than TRA to left of sword)&nbsp; issue, I&#039;d imagine scarcer than the&nbsp; Trade Strikes. (note cud/die break in legend to right of foot, and another on bottom reverse)</p><p>&nbsp;only a small premium over spot in fine grade according to Standard Catalog of WGC 6th ed. (doesn&#039;t list mintages)&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t plan on selling, just interesting that a rather old and very attractive coin would be listing so low. This was Gold #1 recovered, early this year I dug an Austrian 4 Ducat from 1915, likely a restrike, as with the 1780, it&#039;s very thin in comparison to it&#039;s diameter.&nbsp; Odd to have recovered my two gold coins in Ducat denoms, but my world coin recoveries outnumber US recoveries in general. I mostly search the tidal areas of a seaport city, and apparently those sailors got drunk, fell down and lost coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH]284587[/ATTACH][ATTACH]284588[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
