[QUOTE="1934 Wreath Crown, post: 3426504, member: 76965"]That is the unbarred As variety and probably one of the rarest business strike sovereigns after the 1819. There only a handful certified by PCGS and NGC combined. I would ask myself this question: Is the person selling it a dealer or someone who sells coins on a fairly regular basis? If so, why would anyone who knows anything about coins, sell something that is clearly worth at least $5,000, even in its worst condition, for a fraction of its price. All one needs to do is visit eBay to realise the true rarity and value of the coin. Having said this, I have had the opportunity to buy rare but certified sovereigns at less than half recent auction prices. I cannot see any obvious error and if it is the real thing, I'm jealous :D Here's the real thing in XF 40 grade. I paid a lot more than $1,000 for it;) [ATTACH=full]909824[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]909825[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
