first Penny gold coin sold in england
In England one of the eight famous medieval gold coins with the image of King Henry III is put up for sale. The original value of the old coin is 672,000 USD.
The anonymous seller put up for sale a very rare gold coin, which was minted in England about 800 years ago. It depicts King Henry III (1216-1272) . It's about "penny gold." In his time Royal jeweler William Gloucester rapped 52,000 such coins of gold.
The gold coin with the denomination of 20 pence was considered to be underestimated in its time. That is why many of these coins were melted again. The cost of production and the price of precious metal significantly exceeded the denomination of the coin...
Very cool! I'm assuming he/she had to have had it graded in order to receive a price like this?
