I had a gentleman come into the coin shop yesterday and said he had a coin to show me. I have been dealing with this man for quite some time as a buyer of silver and gold bullion. He told me that he recently inherited a relatives coin collection. He found this coin in a small ring box wrapped in tissue. I informed him that this is a very rare coin and it needs to be graded. I am going to take this piece to central states tomorrow to be graded for the gentleman. It just goes to show you that this stuff is still out there. __________________ Matt Dinger Lost Dutchman Rare Coins   04-29-2009, 11:39 AM   #2 (permalink) bhp3rd Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Knoxville Posts: 1,266 Wow!

I'm not sure if the owner wants to sell the piece, but on my strong recommendation at least it will be protected and certified. __________________ Matt Dinger Lost Dutchman Rare Coins   04-29-2009, 01:49 PM   #11 (permalink) coinman0456 Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Albany, New York Posts: 1,426 Blog Entries: 1 I would not sell that, unless he had to. And your doing right by him. Just a suggestion , you may want to contact CAC. __________________   04-29-2009, 04:28 PM   #12 (permalink) johnny54321 aspiring numismatist     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: North Edwards, CA Posts: 1,123 My Mood: Woah. That's a beauty of a coin even if it were a common date, but a 1916!!! What would you grade? It looks like an AU-50/53 or so to me, but I'm no expert on these.   04-29-2009, 04:32 PM   #13 (permalink) LostDutchman exsisto magister     Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Indianapolis, IN Posts: 1,166 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 The picture really doesn't do this coin any justice...

I was just going to ask you if it was AU or a weakish strike. Apparently it is a little of both. __________________ The monkeys stand for honesty, Giraffes are insincere, And the elephants are kindly but They're dumb.
