<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rld14, post: 1109749, member: 16133&quot;]If you dug that coin, chances are VERY good that it&#039;s legit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Assuming that you didn&#039;t clean it with anything that would damage the surfaces, you might have a $4,000 coin there, NICE!</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s like pulling a Rolex submariner out of the ground <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Grading fees are a tough call, I&#039;d almost want to see better pics to get an idea of what it would likely grade...&nbsp; I use PCGS, the value cutoff for regular is $3,000 but that coin could be worth more.. insuring it for $4,000 would raise it to being graded at the express level but that&#039;s only an extra $20 and the coin will be graded within 5 vs 15 business days for regular.</p><p><br /></p><p>Grading fees are $30 regular and $50 express.&nbsp; Regular tier is 15 days, express is 5 days.&nbsp; There&#039;s a $8 fee per submission regardless of how many coins you submit and shipping both ways is extra.&nbsp; You should mail it USPS registered mail with insurance.&nbsp; If you only have one coin to submit, my strong suggestion is to submit the coin through an authorized dealer, this way you can jump in on one of their submissions and save paying $39 and up to join the collectors club.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I&#039;d contact the folks at Kagins (I think it&#039;s kagins.com) as they are the big player in territorial and privately minted gold coins.&nbsp; They&#039;re also PCGS and NGC authorized dealers I would think.&nbsp; The owner of the company basically wrote &quot;The book&quot; on coins like yours.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whatever you do, it&#039;s a very special coin that you found and quite a chunk of history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
