Yes, I talked to them...they still charge you, as they have to look at it. To me, it's worth the price to know. Thank you all.

I've been selling on eBay for 23 years...I still can't figure out how they are dealing with these taxes. I have so many customers complaining about the taxes. I'm glad you had success!

Thanks for all the responses...here are the details of the coins. They were tested with a Thermo laser gun...absolutely a bit over 18K.
My point is that if they are replicas, I don't want to waste money sending it in for grading...does NCG just send it back and refund or how does that work? I'm sending in my first coins to be graded and just want to make sure I'm doing things right. I'm shipping about a dozen double eagles, along with this coin.
Here are the dimensions, etc.

Hi. A coin collector friend of mine had it (actually two of them)...they are indeed gold, as I had them professionally tested...but he most definitely told me they were replicas...but my big question is "should I send it in to grade" or is it a total waste of money?
And, I don't want to send them in if all of you think they are replicas...waste of money for sure...NGC charges $78 per coin for the grading...yipes...not counting shipping

On the "shipwreck" coins...I have two of them...very, very close to the same...a few differences...one weighs 8.287 grams...the other weighs 8.412 grams
They are for sure a bit over 18K.

I am inclined to be along the same thought process of @Woods020. Can you supply us with a weight of your coin? Preferably in 100th's of a gram. Welcome to the forum.
Hi. Yes, this coin weighs 8.41 grams...it's most definitely gold...just barely above 18K
I had it tested.

Judy,
Welcome. How did you come to own this coin? I’m not an expert in these but I doubt highly that it is authentic. It doesn’t look right and it’s an unlikely event to get an uncertified shipwreck gold coin.
My money is on it being a souvenir shop replica, and I’m surprised it is testing as Gold. Someone more versed will come along soon enough.

Well, we are 60 miles from Delta Junction...north...and we are 55 miles south of Fairbanks. That is all called the Interior. Arctic desert! Brrrrr
