No way I'd sell the coin! In 1819 there were a little over 9 million Americans. Think who may have held that coin, President Monroe, John Marshall, Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson. Holding a very early American coin almost 200 years old....PRICELESS. And how many can say they dug it up.
