[QUOTE="Ian, post: 73459, member: 283"]The weight is right. The size is right, and (as far as you can tell from these images) it looks to me to be `right'. However, no-one in their right mind is going to buy it without either having it verified or at least knowing its provenance. If genuine it's worth a figure somewhere in the $6-£9K mark. Where did you get it from? David Sear provides an authentication service for $60 I believe. If that were my coin and I was wondering about it's authenticity I'd employ his services a) because it validates authenticity b) his name associated with it is a mighty good selling point and would not only make the coin easier to sell, but add some value to the selling price. It wouldn't be money squandered, put it that way. As Doug already mentioned, ICG is an alternative option. A few days and a few $'s is worth it for getting the uncertainty removed one way or the other. PS: Why did you title your post `27.4' to start with? Is there some information that was already there with the coin? Ian[/QUOTE]
