    Beautiful Indian Tony It's the real deal and it even comes with a gorgeous green patina I'm guessing this is a good year detecting so far?

    Yeah, I'll never sell it. I would regret it for the rest of my life if I did. I'd have to say that it's the single best find of my metal detecting career.

    Hard to top that great find, and not much more I can say than what everyone else has said. However, I will say, I would highly nominate your find for "Coin of the Month" Award. It would be well-deserved and I will vote for it!
