It is an amazing piece of kit.....but....way over budget, and a one time use firework. They should have let space x do it. That being said I cant wait to see her go !!

Not interested in the value & it needs no preservation other than the right coin sleeve/coin tray. The British Museum don't do it with any of their ancient coins, they are in open coin trays. I would rather take their advise than someone charging me.
If fact I've been behind the scenes of the Fitzwilliam Museum that house the rarest Saxon Coinage in Britain & they are in velvet lined coin trays.

Crusader... heh... There is a reason why this is.
Museums ARE ABSOLUTE controlled environments... Temp / Humidity / etc.
Not to mention careful regulated GLOVED access etc etc etc.
NOT some "box" or "fire safe" / safe that IS NOT made specifically with chemical gas-off in mind. etc
also... that "velvet" lining you mentioned... is not something they sell at your local fabric store.
Its specific material to preservation... Dont believe me... ask them yourself.

Coin sleeves are not all the same... many can and will cause damage if not made from correct material... Many of those soft plastic flips are garbage PVC.... which is BAD for coins.

Also... i cannot get over your statement ... "I am not interested in preservation"... :/
YOU of ALL people on here saying this.
Makes me want to quit T net.

What's the point of it all then ? ? ?
Just for kicks ? ? ?
Show off ? ? ?
Sell off old environment damaged lot ? ? ?
Melt down into blob one day ? ? ?

IF you have been fortunate enough to be given the green light to detect historical areas and ALSO been given the opportunity to KEEP finds you found.
AT THE VERY least you have an obligation / duty... NOT TO ANYONE... BUT TO THAT FIND... to give it the best you can afford to insure its continued longevity.

Otherwise just leave it "insitu" and one of us here who does care will come along and take proper care of them.
Cruz... I notice the coins you mostly find are common to YOUR neck of the woods... IOW's not a big deal and found on a regular basis... like us finding a 1945 silver coin here.
AND YES... just clean off and toss them into a holder... no big deal.

NOT THIS COIN.. THE OPS COIN IS NOT in this same realm by any stretch of the imagination.

Finds /coins like the OPS is extremely rare for US here... a once in a lifetime find... and were RARE to begin with upon making... and THE FIRST coinage of OUR COUNTRY.... we dont have the long drawn out history of mega years of coin making your country does.
NO COMPARISON to most of your rare coins... the OP's is so rare we can count them all in total existence in minutes.
THEREFORE... great measures should be taken to protect and preserve them.

Sheesh... ok im done... definitely with this thread... i think i have heard it all now here on Tnet.

AND PS... i will leave you with this... take close note on the rise on graded coin SAME as OPS IMO

GRADED at ms 65- one of your coins sold at Stack's 10/2005 for $27,600...
That SAME coin 5 years later - Bowers & Merena 11/2010 $103,500
And IF that same coin were to surface at auction TODAY.... HOLY CRAPOLA.

EVEN IN the worst grade ... (low / bad condition) which yours is NOT... and IMO stellar and why i am crying for you to get it graded.
EVEN IN lowest grade.... these sell for thousands of dollars... GRADED only.

So... put it in what ya want... heh... again i'm done.

🥇 BANNER - Still Shaking...1662 Massachusetts Oak Tree Twopence

Greetings! I'll keep this short. I returned to a section of woods where I recently found a William iii halfpenny and a nicely gilded Navy button. I hunted for about three hours without much to show for my efforts. I hit a reasonable signal along side a stream...not a great signal, but I figured...
