There is no right or wrong answer, everyone is different. However, if it was me, I would definitely keep it, at least for a while. I would have to admire it for a year or so at least. Just ask yourself if you would rather have the coin or the money.

I'd rather have the coin. thumbsup01
 
That is one amazing find. Just utterly stunning. It really blows the mind!

That would be a tough call for me whether to keep it or sell it. That kind of money could get a lot of work done around the house and/or help cover a nice vacation or other experience for the family. They would likely appreciate that as much or more than I would appreciate keeping it. On the other hand, it would be the crown jewel in my collection of treasure that I'd like to leave my son someday. Then he could sell it if he wanted to, and maybe it would be worth even more at that point. That would be quite a dilemma to figure out... Oh, to have problems like yours! lol

Anyway, a huge congrats on the find of a lifetime!

It's not 10000 off dollars.

Simply amazing... :perfect10: Truly a find of a lifetime. Your dilemma of to keep it or sell it is a dilemma that all of us one here would love to have. Lovely piece of history.
 
Fantastic find. But, a question - where was it found - in a new park, old park, cellar hole, old house yard, woods :huh:thinkingabout:? Thanks.

After you found it Scott was so excited he called me to describe it :twirlingeyes: He said he missed it by 20 feet :shocked01:

Unreal find, I wish you well in the displaying or selling :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

I Heard the same story from Scott. As happy as I'd be for a hunting buddy, it would kill me to think, If I'd just turned left 2 minutes earlier.... :shocked04:verreaction:

That is definitely a find of a lifetime :congrats:

It was found just in a field in Rhode Island. No telling how long this area was being used for.
 
Not even thinking of the cash value but just the historical value makes my head spin. Totally awesome find and all the other things previously posted.

:congrats: :perfect10: :peace: :clapping:
 
All I can say is wow. That is exactly why we detect. To find something that valuable and to unearth a piece of such historical significance is truly remarkable. :angelic:
 
thats one amazing coin! i'd drill a hole in at at 12:00 and hang it from a necklace and wear that sucker!

:hysterical: HUGE CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :perfect10: |:cheering:
