R,

very, very nice coin.

Graded? Planning on selling it?

If I was selling perhaps I would get a
grading on it. Just keeping it, think I
would let it slide for now.

It's a very nice find

have a good un.......

Very nice!

 

[MalteseFalcon]

Judging by what I see on ebay, it is worth at least several hundred bucks.

He paid for his detector with that one.

Yes, have it graded. It is a key date. Do not clean it.

Well done!
