At a pawn shop of all places

Do you see? You gave the guy a chance and he came through. Good for you. Of course the minute you left he took it out of the flip, put it in another flip, and put a $100 price on it.

Actually, what I was going to suggest was, if he didn't take it back, wait a month, give it to a friend who "inherited it from his great-grandmother whose family came here on the boat just after the Mayflower" to bring in and sell it back to them. If they identify it as a fake, well, then, there's your answer, they knew it.

By the way everyone. I just wanted to say thank you for every single post. You guys gave me the will to give it a go and see what happens. If not for yall i probably would have it in my collection thinking i had a $600 coin.
So again thank you, thank you, thanks!!!!

 

You said you frequent the pawn shop, bring it back and tell him it's a fake. I go to a pawn shop too, and he would return my money if the coin was a fake.

 

Pawnmonkey I agree with you...I worked a bad area of the City for a while and spend many hours in a pawn shop. The guy is dead now but he was a good guy to visit with. But whenever a person entered his shop I would excuse myself and walk out. Years later after he had closed the shop he told me that he knew why I was always walking out of his shop and that once he had a slot machine in his shop that was being picked up while I was in the shop. I of course had walked out as the pickup was being made...Possession of a working slot machine in New York State at the time was a Felony he knew it and I knew it....Guy was a nice guy and I am happy to say my friend.
