first of all congratulations, looks like you are having quite a year man. I missed this post but that gold coin is amazingly killer. These guys are just giving you there expert opinions, don't take it the wrong way,.

What else can we do but associate finds with other finds that fit the same time period off any giving site? But like most things, can never be 100% sure. Banner!
