hello again all just a quick update for you all...
ive been down to London today, popped into spink they had the coin for around 35 minutes came back to me saying it needs to be certified and graded the only thing he could find wrong with it was that it weighs 0.06 grams lighter than it should.....
anyway been to one of the registered pcgs places they have taken the coin to send to pcgs for grading
ive been told it will take around 6 weeks to come back, they have also offered to put it in coinex 2014 in September.
so its just a case of waiting now.. thank you all for the help and advice you have given me,
as promised I will keep you all informed and let you know what grade it comes back as..
thanks again cheifww

 

Awesome! I'm not sure but by the sound of it, Coinex is a magazine? That is just an amazing opportunity for you. Good luck, and Congratz!

 

thank you xGAJx
There is an annual auction in London called coinex..
google "coinex london 2014" let me know what you think!!!

 

looks awesome!

 

Wigwam, there's another factor at play here, and that's how much you will be taxed, with an auction in the U.S., versus an auction in the U.K. I have no idea what the difference might be, but it's worth checking out. Plus the fact that you might be able to negotiate a lower commission at some U.S. auction house than in a British one.

 

I've read this thread from start to finish. I am just posting so I don't lose it
Congrats cheifwigwam on your amazing find!

 

Beautiful coin. I had one that I found in a roll of buffalo nickels I got it for$3.00 per roll and sold it for $750 it was an A/G or so. but you could see the doubled 6. Winner winner
chicken dinner.

 

Ok - so where are these car boot sales?

 

Hello again all.... well its been a few weeks since I last posted but as promised here is an update for you all the coin is back in the uk after being sent to the pcgs its come back as genuine and in a nice shiny slab with a grade of......AU58
HAPPY DAYS!!!!!
thank you all again for you advice and input
regards cheifww

 

OMG!! NGC lists that as a $48,500 coin. Enjoy your rewards!!!!!!!!!

 

Sweet score!!!

 

A dream find if there ever was one. Congratulations. I'll bet you are in seventh heaven. Would like to know if you sell it what it goes for.

 

You have been blessed beyond anything we could ever imagine. Hope you spend your new money (If you sell it) wisely. good luck and Godspeed.

 

Wow!!!! So coooollll can you post the pic of the slab? Anyway if you sell it GD luck, I hope the best for you! God is Good, what a find! I watched this thread from the start and have been telling my friends about you!!!! They all think I am nuts! LOL!

 

Here is a scan of the slab I've had emailed to me I'm still unsure of what to do and have until Friday to decide wether I should put it in coinex London in September
Thanks again

 

It's a pop 5 or 6 with PCGS. Great find. Take your time doing anything with it. Taxes and auction fees could be a killer.
Edit to add. Only 7 better at PCGS.

 

It is awesome!!!! Well, I don't know if you have children or plan to or if you have financial troubles. Gd starter to help with college or keep it in a safe deposit box for an emergency or a bonus for when you retire. I think there is a private buyer out there somewhere. Idhair is right about auction cost, but when in need you have it. The only coin I have ever sold was when I was in need, one of my platinums. My family and I had a GD vacation, is was worth it

 

Amazing! Congratulations to you! Looks very close to Mint State if not a full Mint State coin.
