[QUOTE="Joshua Lemons, post: 24845414, member: 82388"]For the Puerto Rican token, it simply isn't a type the company certifies. They have a list of tokens and medals they certify on the site. It is quite possible that these tokens don't have an existing catalogue yet. For the Mansfeld, the site says this: ALTERED SURFACE - The coin's surfaces have been extensively manipulated. For example, a Proof coin that has been altered to appear to be a Mint State coin, or vice versa. This alteration can often make authentication impossible. For the Wurttemberg, this is the NGC description: NOT SUITABLE FOR CERTIFICATION - Coins that are severely damaged or otherwise impaired. The surface condition of these coins makes it impossible for NGC to render a conclusive opinion about authenticity, Details Grade or both. The grading fee is refunded less a $5 handling fee. I think this is often used for coins that have met an excessive number of details crieria. As far authenticity, the German coins NGC isn't willing to put their name on. You could probably sell them on Facebook or Instagram, but expect to give a very steep discount due to the nature of their problems. The Cuban coin can be sold on FB or Instagram too or the website usacoinbook. On FB there's also a group called the Cuban Coin Collectors society or something if that nature that regularly sells Cuban coins. I see the token as a curiosity, but I'm sure someone would buy it.[/QUOTE]
