Cool but who polished it
Latin American Collection
Did you clean it?
I Like it, unmolested .
I grade it vf25 +
Street value 70-80 bucks.
As far as slabbing it , I personally don't think it worthwhile.

Looks like it has been harshly cleaned. Lots of hairlines in the right obverse field and has a freshly polished look. Too bad.
That is a spectacular find but it is not worth grading. You’d get a “Details” holder.
Cool find but no. It isn’t amazingly ideal patina-wise but it isn’t bad for ground dug silver either. This board tends to tilt towards “if it isn’t perfect” but enjoy your treasure and leave it raw. Share it and let others feel and see it without fear of making it worse.

It's a great find. Keep it raw and enjoy it as such or sell it raw to net the most vs. selling it after sending in for certification.

Fantastic as a metal detecting find, not so fantastic as a coin collecting find, since it appears to have been cleaned.
Cleaned. Not worth slabbing, but geez, it's still an amazing find! Nice work.

it was in the water by a river

No unless you just want a holder with detail
Best place to buy !

Should you grade it...Probably not.
If I was metal detecting and found your coin, I'd slab it without regard to anything........just to show it off.

I think that would make for a great pocket piece personally which is exactly what I'd do.
Don't get it graded.
Very nice find though.

I wish they would slab it with a blurb about how and where you found it, then I'd slab it.
How would PCGS or any other TPG verify the provenance?

They wouldn't. It would be a custom vanity slab, sort of like a sample or promotional slab.
PCGS offers that service?

I don't think they do, which is why i said i wished they did....
That was a whole days wage back in the 1850's
Someone went hungry that night...details coin, keep it raw and enjoy.

Great find! Go back and find more!
I agree with this, protect your best find from metal detectoring. And if it isn’t your best, tell us more!

You should absolutely go back to that spot and triple check for more.
Awesome find. Like others have said, keep searching in that area.
1) Cool find
2) First thoughts from the pics: Cleaned, scratched, not worth slabbing
3) Cool coin for a raw dansco album (type set) or a self-slab.
4) Enjoyable raw, disappointing if slabbed (expecting a NG)
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
That is a great metal detecting find.... If it were mine, I would self slab with a small label that describes when and where I found it. Slabs are cheap and it will protect your find. Cheers, RickO
