<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mdr, post: 61110, member: 3563&quot;]Dear Cave Troll and GDJMSP,</p><p>&nbsp; The coin was given to me as payment. </p><p>&nbsp; The former owner claims that Aldo Basso who authored the book Coins, Medals and Tokens of the Philippines sent a representative in the early 90&#039;s with a $70,000 offer. I have been unable to confirm this since Basso has passed away and I have been unsuccessful in getting in touch with the supossed representative. The former owner bought it in the mid 60&#039;s from a lady who had a hundred 1882&#039;s and this one 1880. I think it was aquired then for $3000. It is very important to me to confirm this $70,000 offer because it sets a baseline for the price.</p><p>&nbsp; Does Heritage have representation or contact with coin dealers outside the US. I understand that certain European and Japanese collectors would be interested. I think that if more people are notified it may increase the price. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I am unclear about the harm of inquiring from others. I have received suggestions on listing it on ebay. I don&#039;t know if this is a good idea. What kind of commisions do the auction houses charge?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
