A New York lawyer friend returns from Berkshire with a gold noble coin from the Edward III era found by a plowman there. The coin, valued well over fifty times the purchase price, prompts the narrator to compare it with a library specimen to confirm authenticity before they dine together. The tale blends rural discovery with a budding passion for historic curios.
In the library a coin goes missing from a tray under Scarborough's sole control after an inspection with a magnifying glass. Golson confronts Scarborough and, with no alternative, calls the officer to take him to the librarian as suspicion and distrust rise.
