<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Metzger, post: 3308777, member: 86472&quot;]Thanks for the input as to the authenticity of the coin. I have no intention of selling the coin but want to authenticate it (as best I can given my resources, etc) for the sake of education and knowledge. The coin will ultimately become part of my son’s collection. Last night, at bedtime, I was talking to him about the coin and he immediately perked up. His first response was “those are pictured in my red book and I’ve always wanted one.” I then told him about the possibility that it was a “shipwreck” coin...his eyes widened considerably. Then he said, “what do you plan to do with it...do you think I could do something to earn it?”</p><p>He’s a good kid who loves coins and is the reason I got into the hobby. I’ll share all the educational details of authenticating the coin with him and he will eat it up. He’s been earning the coin his whole life by being a good kid, but I’ll probably make him sweat a little bit just because...though report cards come out today, so maybe it’ll be his sooner than later.</p><p>As always, thanks so much CT for all the support![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
