    It's the best hobby anyone could have. I have learned more history through metal detecting than I ever learned in school.

    I will probably never have it graded or slabbed. I couldn't bear to worry about it going back and forth by courier to a grading service. One of the major auction houses contacted me to see if I wanted to sell the coin (I don't) and stated that it would probably grade EF or AU Details.
