[QUOTE="carboni7e, post: 1119341, member: 13685"]For any others viewing this thread - especially those who are semi-collectors and make a lucky find - don't do what i did. If i could go back, i would have just driven the 30+ miles to the nearest dealer, got their expert opinion, sent it to a TPG for probably $75 and been done with it. I joined PCGS for $129. It cost $32 to send in 4 coins. They ONLY accept Registered USPS mail which was $20. They also charge the same amount for return shipping which was another $32.95 Going my route you will spend at least $200 to have your coin graded. And even then it could come back as counterfeit, cleaned, altered etc which wont even get your coin slabbed. Just a heads up because i didn't realize all of the incurred costs down the ladder. Heck, i'd even send it to a high-rep member on this forum to send it in for me if that would have saved me $150 bucks. But thanks everyone for your opinions, i will always check here first before anywhere else[/QUOTE]
