Great find! I'm jealous!

[DrJoePrime]

I Vote BANNER Find!

(Yes,,I know it's ineligible.. but I can still vote)

CONGRATS! SmokinJoe

It's a beautiful, rare, valuable coin! It's the kind of coin I deserve to find...maybe one day.

I've read EVERY comment on here and it's been entertaining but a little sad that we all didn't stick to the point...that being THIS is an amazing and wonderful find in our hobby that we all are happy SmokinJoe found!

I do agree with CRU's opinions but they kind of belong in another place where such opinions can be aired more directly.

dude, what a dweeb comment! This is banner!!

It is not qualified as a banner find, it was found before he became a TN member.........

[CRUSADER]

Crusader, don't worry about the property owner. This is Joe's find and he doesn't need to explain himself to anyone. Feel free to give landowners their rightful share in England if you choose. You sound elitist and smug. Maybe this is why the population of Treasurenet as dwindled vastly.

I don't worry about the owner, its about the finder.
(if you wish to not share equally with the owners, carry on)

He/you only needs to explain it to God, or maybe you think otherwise.
I sleep at night. Maybe one day you will get a great find, until then, keep your thoughts to yourself, because you have little or no experience to add to this. Happy Hunting

One in a life time find like killing a boon and crockett buck on your first time out. way to go

Looks like an NGC AU Details Environmental Damage piece sold in April at heritage for $18,400. That one looks to be in a little better condition, but $15k+ looks to be a real possibility for your piece!! Assuming 15% commission, that's about $13,000 hammer and minus 5% seller commission, that's a nice tidy takehome of over $12k. After taxes (I'm no tax man), you might just walk away with $10k! Got my fingers crossed for you.

Will be tough to top that one man. The pics on the auction website really show the incredible detail on the coin. Good luck with the auction and congratulations!

[J-dude]

Wow...what an amazing find!

[swamp yankee]

C., he had permission to hunt the land by the land owner, in this country there is no law saying he has to share it with the land owner unless prior arrangements were made, he only has to share the money with the taxman.

If you guys are so hardcore with rules, then shouldn't this banner thread be deleted? If I'm not mistaken it violates the first rule "You may not.... Post, upload, send personal messages, transmit or otherwise make available any inappropriate, inaccurate, abusive, hateful, vulgar, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, or unlawful content."

Isn't the title inaccurate? http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/to...ml#post2740889
Hey, rules are rules...

BANNER!

[Treasure_Hunter]

Our rules have been in place for years and there is nothing about the title or this thread that violates our rules. He made a fantastic fine, just because it isn't qualified to be on the banner does not take anything away from his find.

That wasn't clear.... I looked at thread in question, he titled it that way as an April Fools joke, in first line he explained it was an April Fools joke and post made on april 1st,. The thread is fine....Coin found is legitimate find, since it dates from US ccolonial period he titled it as such as the joke........................
