Its appears to be well worn and may get a low grade...why waste your money.

Story? Found it in a shop, in the ground? Details?

Extremely a great coin.

Congrats on a great find.
Were you detecting when you found it?

Really nice. If you want, have it graded. Not like those little suckers grow on trees...

 

[trapperart]

Nice

 

[Mackaydon]

With a difference of hundreds of dollars between five point intervals in grade, I'd have it graded; especially since you found (versus bought) it.

I found it on a street they ripped up in my city last week. The street was paved in the 30's and hasn't been ripped up till now. Believe it or not nobody is hunting it. I have found sitting libertys, Barbers, lots of Mercs, an Indian was officers button, lots of indian heads and V nickels. 1 mile long of the oldest street in town there ripping up. I am in heaven!!! The hunt is on!!!

Nice coin. Lets see some of the other coins you're finding. What is the significance of the 1952 Bowman Mickey Grasso card?

I guess I am very confused. I remember everything when I found my gold coin. I wasn't worried about grading it or anything else. I shut off my detector and quit. I held it in my hand all the way home. I know everyone is different but coming on a forum and saying I found this and should I grade it?

You found a coin that most every detectorist wants to find. Maybe you have found a bunch of them and it was absolutely no big deal to you to find another.

Nice coin

The hunt is on!!! I use a garrett at pro. It hit a solid 76 vdi. I freaked out when I saw it came out clean just as it is. This is my first gold coin. Sorry I confused you

When I found my gold coin I was in shock for about 10 minutes before I could start swinging again. I probably did another 8 hours that day without a break I was so pumped!

Ya when I saw it I yelled a lady across the street was looking at me and asked if I was okay. I ran over to her and showed her what I found. She was astonished. I tried to call my detecting buddy in Arizona and he didn't answer. I am now doing recon on every movement the guys are making down there as we speek. There is lots more to be found just have to be there at the right time. Also got permission to hunt the dump spot where they are taking all the concrete and dirt. They said they will be working on the street for the next 2 months and digging all the street and sidewalks up.
