From what I have seen age doesn't matter. I know guys in their late 70's and 80's that buy on-line and YNs that buy at coin shows and dealer...
Two problems - 1 - you say the coin in question is similar to the one you pictured, but it NOT the one you pictured. That means the coin could...
Just keep in mind that that "outside source" has to be one recognized as being an authority on the subject. And there aren't that many of them.

That's easy enough to do, don't buy them.
I dunno, maybe it's just the pics but that coin just looks, I don't know how else to say it - wrong. It's looks like it's covered with little tiny...

75TA - I'm not sure if you realize it or not but TomB just offered to help you out unless I miss my guess. And since you are new to the forum...
