What a hunt indeed Terry - days like that make digging all the trash worth while. A funny side note - my daughter and I were putting this year's mercs into a Whitman coin folder yesterday and she asked why the 1916D slot wasn't knocked-out - I said because no one ever has one of those - well, I was wrong - you do!

Just a heads-up to everyone regarding coin grading with PCGS.
PCGS will not grade any coin that has been recovered from the earth.
I joined PCGS a few months ago ($200 per year!) and received a coupon for 8 free submissions. In early August I went through all my coin recoveries and picked out the best 8 coins and sent them to PCGS for grading. Included in the submission was a near-perfect 1895-O Barber dime which would grade above 40 and an outstanding 1815 Bust quarter which was close to the same. A few days ago the coins were returned to me, all enclosed in a PCGS plastic case and all marked "Not Gradable".
I just got off the phone with PCGS, the fellow's name is Chris in Customer Service. He told me that PCGS will not grade any coin that has been recovered from the earth, period. I told him that information should be declared on the PCGS website so other detectorists would not make the same mistake that I did, however he told me he has no control over such matters.
I cancelled my PCGS membership and plan on removing the coins from the PCGS plastic holders.
I hope this information prevents other detectorists from the expense and pain I just went through.
