<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 697452, member: 15199&quot;]If it didn&#039;t have the scratches, an <b>estimate</b> in CPG would be in the $extreme range ( $5000+/-). I think the damage would reduce it quite a bit. It is difficult to verify with certainty from photos, so that is why I recommended the slabbing for authentication. Any variety such as this or the 3-L is quite susceptible to someone with good engraving skills to manufacture. Be sure to check if that TPG does have this variety on the list they will certify.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you don&#039;t intend to slab much, the best is to find a dealer who will send it in for you. It should be about $40 or so. The alternative is to join one of the &quot;collectors clubs&quot; the TPGs have which include a certain number of free gradings, although they charge extra for varieties like this. Great catch, even with the scratches! There have only been a small number verified, so your chances of a counterfeit is maybe greater than a real one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
