[QUOTE="illini420, post: 775848, member: 19423"]Come on everyone, sure the chances of this being a genuine example are slim... but there is a chance. Just in the last decade the last 1913 Liberty Nickel came out of the woodwork under some interesting circumstances (read up on that if you don't know the details) and super rare coins are rediscovered practically every year. The OP has nothing to prove to us (though it would be nice). He is simply asking for some advice on who to contact for further exam and certification as genuine. Like others have mentioned, professional certification would be best. Unless you have a prior relationship with a trusted dealer or one heck of a referral I would be hesitant just to trust most individuals with their opinions. You wouldn't want someone telling you it's definitely a copy when in fact it's real, simply in an attempt to take advantage of you. If it were my coin and I suspected it to be genuine, I'd personally hand deliver it (woudln't trust the mail given the possible value) PCGS/NGC for same day show certification at the nearest major coin show where they set up for show grading. Of course, pics would be nice and please follow up with what you decide and what is ultimately decided about your coin. Good luck![/QUOTE]
