<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 25520285, member: 18320&quot;]Mom immigrated with her family from Holland at age 12 in 1924. This coin was her high school graduation present in the year of issue. Technically circulated, I do not believe it was ever carried; in my youth it was kept in a just-large-enough rouge cup, in her dresser. There can&#039;t be much evidence of circulation; it probably would grade as high MS, imho.</p><p>I&#039;ve decided to get it professionally graded, an would like your opinions an&#039; suggestions about how to select a grading service, an&#039; what cautions I should take in that endeavor.</p><p>I&#039;ve been told that the fakes of this coin are very good (Italian?). Should I be concerned about it being switched by someone at the grading service? What precautions might I take to limit my exposure to that kind of fraud? Additionally, were the fakes of this type, during the last year of issue, common...that is, could this be one of them? I&#039;m not at all knowledgeable enough to determine that prior to offering it for grading. As my questions indicate, I&#039;m kinda dumb, an&#039; scared about this undertaking. Thanks for lookin&#039;!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1634358[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1634359[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
