Message:: [QUOTE="imrich, post: 840238, member: 22331"]Finding The "Truth" I'm glad to hear that you've sought/located credible counsel to evaluate your treasure, and if you'd further investigated, I believe , it would've been established that "roll/cabinet rub" is highly improbable with this coin type. Additional images aren't necessary to establish the quality of this specimen, for one knowledgeable about the Liberty double eagle. Generally, what you received is the tripe espoused by dealers when acquiring these coins, where they quote past A.N.A. technical specifications for "mint state" coins. These standards, I believe, are generally disregarded by certifiers. I've evidenced same by my 3 previously posted higher grade "mint state" specimens, graded by the "Creme De La Creme" of "top tier" numismatic certification. These imaged coins were purchased as "investment grade" material, stated to always appreciate, because of their accreditation pedigree. The posted coins have a stated retail value of  >$7500, ~$3000 greater than their purchase price, which is ~$1200 more than dealers offering. A disparity of <100% between  dealer offering and suggested market value. Beware of individuals stating investment performance based generally on certification, while demeaning a prominent specimen of quality pedigree. Please, just enjoy your beautiful mature "art piece", while disregarding some without credible basis or credentials, advancing their unsupported statements.[/QUOTE]
