tboykin Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Customer sent these pics of a once-in-a-lifetime find. This is a dream for many coin hunters on the East Coast of the U.S. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des D Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 'Probably, the Holy Grail of a coin find in the USA. It has the look of something that came out of a stream / river / waterlogged site but not corrosive soil? Well done to the finder: he/she must be chuffed? Did you present the finder with a New MX Sport Tom Lol.......?' (maybe a TRX as a runners up prize) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 There are a lot of varieties but I think this is the one: http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/24 I don't know how to grade these. My guess is around 35 but an expert (one of the grading services) is the route to go with something this valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the go-to machine of most of the cellar hole hunters I've met. I think the simplicity and metal box are what draw them to it - it's a tank of a detector. TRX is a good idea though, I should see if he's got one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
