<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1539169, member: 66&quot;]I&#039;m sorry you find us to be rude, we are actually one of the friendliest general groups on the net.&nbsp; You also need to understand our skepticism.&nbsp; Literally dozens of people have come here claiming to have found a silver 65 quarter.&nbsp; To date not a single one has turned out to be real.&nbsp; There are only something like four or five of them known.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We were not impressed with you going to a jeweler for an opinion because numismatics, like gemology, is a specialized field.&nbsp; I would not ask a jeweler about numismatics just as I would not ask a coin dealer an opinion on jewelry.&nbsp; In some cases they MIGHT have some knowledge in the other field, but without some evidence of credibility or reputation in the other field any opinion given will be taken with a grain of salt. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another reason for our skepticism has been the repeated ignoring of our request for vital information in authenticating the piece.&nbsp; The first, fastest, easiest test that can be done on the coin, and which will eliminate over 95% of the fakes is the weight of the coin.&nbsp; We asked you for it, the jeweler or the hotel buyer would have had to have weighed it to determine if it was real or not as well.&nbsp; But after six pages it has still not been provided.&nbsp; Maybe you have a reason, but it does increase suspicion, as if the information is being hidden.&nbsp; If it had been provided back on page one when it was first asked for, and it was reasonable for a silver quarter, I&#039;m sure you would have seen a much different set of responses.&nbsp; We love to congratulate someone when they come up with something good.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see it looks like you are going to send it in to PCGS for authentication, good, and I hope for your sake that it comes back good and you can come gloat about it.&nbsp; It think it would be great if you&#039;ve actually found one.&nbsp; But forgive me if I don&#039;t hold my breath, I know the odds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
