<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 3567934, member: 78298&quot;]IDK if it is real or fake. Just because someone own&#039;s a coin store (if that story is factual) doesn&#039;t nec. make him an expert on all coins, and he could still buy a counterfeit without knowing it. Coin shops buy entire collections and don&#039;t always know every single coin they are getting. A man dies. A widow comes into the shop and sells the collection. He lowballs her. She has no idea if it&#039;s a fair deal or not. He ends up with some of these pieces before&nbsp; finding out for himself if they are real or not. You can say this is a terrible scenario, and I agree. That doesn&#039;t mean it doesn&#039;t happen all the time. Whenever money is involved there is always someone looking to take advantage of someone else.</p><p>He goes to a coin show where he has a friend who specializes in gold and he can get an informed opinion.</p><p>There are people here who could tell you if it is real or fake.</p><p>I would wait for some expert opinions before sending the coin for grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
