I am dismayed by the lackluster response to your query.  It's been said, "past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results," but the truth is numismatics and the volatility of the precious metals markets, finer quality and supply of Chinese counterfeits, ordinary supply and demand of the market, and a slew of other variables, including the TPGS to which you will ultimately submit your prized possession to, makes any "informed" speculative observation, just that. While you have included a lot of extraneous information with your post, in the end it will be the call of the Chief Numismatist and Grading Finalizer that counts as well as your decision to seek a second opinion if you beg to disagree.

It's still early yet what with the Memorial Day weekend and the unofficial start of summer upon us.  There are some remarkably knowledgeable and experienced members here.  By all means, give them time to respond and hear them out. I myself am quite interested in what they may have to say. We all hope for the best. (thumbsu

If you are looking for information of weather anyone thinks it is worthy you should post pictures of both sides of the coin and perhaps the weight and size also. If all of the pictures posted are of the same coin it looks like it has been cleaned up in between shots also? With that said I wish you luck

Don't forget a decent shot of the edge (not rim) for the rather vocal Chinese anti-counterfeit league members with lifetime memberships.
