Big coin! Nice pickup. Quote:
...want your prize? Hey, that's really quite nice of you, but I'm good. Any chance I can "pay it forward" (whatever it may be) to another coin buddy here on the board? |

For his unflagging enthusiasm, his ongoing support of CCF members, and his extensive work to educate us all  I was gonna guess that this 10 Cash coin was 34 mm in diameter. This looks like Hartill 16.401 to me (made between 1102 and 1106 AD). Great coin! "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
