That’s awesome Strick!

Great story too!  No feeling like finding a gold coin while detecting, that’s for sure.

Sweet!!  And great advice from your hunting partner.  Although the 1853 (plain) is relatively common, as the grade goes up the value grows exponentially.  Yours looks particularly 'spotless' although grading from photos is pretty much impossible when trying to split hairs between uncirculated grades.  Only 10 have been graded higher than MS-64 by PCGS:  http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/7767

You might want to get it looked at by a local professional (coin dealer) and from there possibly get it professionally graded.  Regardless, one of the finds of a lifetime, and well deserved.
