What is this?

If the OP is not wanting or willing to go through with the added expense, which, really isn't that much especially considering the increased value that would be given if authenticated, then I doubt he could expect to get any serious offers on this coin. [/quote

 

 

true

 

as there is an increased comfort, increased demand and hence liquidity with this particular coin if it is deemed authentic and graded which will overall create an increased market acceptance for this coin from 99% of buyers that need the grade and authenticity guaranteed by a service with a great market acceptence in grading world coins and currently in the marketplace this is NGC

 

and of course there will be a few that can tell the grade and authencity but overall for $30 or so dollars there is a HUGE INCREASE IN THE NUMBERS OF BUYERS THAT WILL INSTANTLY consider THIS COIN IF HOLDERED AND GRADED BY NGC

 

BY A FACTOR OF 100X

 

Totally agree with michael. This coin is quite expensive if it's real and it will appeal primarily to only wealthy collectors who are savvy enough to know that there are many fakes and replicas in the marketplace and they will insist on it be authenticated by a recognized authority like NGC before even considering it for purchase.

 

I couldn't possibly buy a coin like this without it being authenticated. Even if it is the right weight in gold and a good copy, it should be sent in for grading. Only a fool would gamble their money without being sure it's real
