Thanks! I still can't believe it!
It's the best hobby anyone could have. I have learned more history through metal detecting than I ever learned in school.
I owe it all to my friend, Dan. It's his site. I can't wait to go back!
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.
Digging with you every weekend and learning more history than I ever learned in school - priceless!!!
