On a separate note, I found another dealer in a nearby town who says he's been doing this for 31 years and will be able to tell me in 10 seconds...
Return shipping from ANACS is outrageous! $17 for one coin and $19 for return shipping?! I don't think so. I will send it with that dealer to...
The other dealer 1/2 hour away going to Florida for a show in January said it would cost me $30 for PCGS submission. Does that sound about right?
Is ICG any good?
Local coin shop guys were split. One said he would buy it if it came into his shop (but didn't like something about the reeding or something along...

Your command is my wish ;-) How are these photos? (BTW, FWIW, the last photo is a picture of the container in which I received the coin. Maybe...
You folks never cease to amaze me. I have *so* far to go! (but getting there will be fun ;-)) Thanks again. "All that is gold does not...
I'll try to find a more accurate scale soon. Found the silver slide test. Where to find small, weak magnets? "All that is gold does not...
