<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coin20, post: 967251, member: 26813&quot;]Hello and thankyou for the responses.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I owe some explanations:</p><p><br /></p><p>I am from Romania (eastern Europe).</p><p><br /></p><p>I received the coin from my grandmother 4 years ago, who hid it during 50 years of communist regime, because you faced inprisonment if ANY gold was found upon you.</p><p>I will autentificate it, but im am sure it is real, with all the fuss I heard it created in my family (grandfather wanted to give it away from fear, later wanted to sell it to a doctor who fled from the country and was in need of somtnig valuable in small package abroad, for a good amount of money (half a Dacia car, money at that time, my grandmother opposed...)). Planning to melt it because I am in need of money right now, I found on the internet that it has numismatic value beacause its manufacture year is rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know yet neither its grade nor its value, we have a very small coin collector community here.</p><p><br /></p><p>I plan to send it to America for grading , although I am a liitle bit scared to leave it.</p><p><br /></p><p>From what I can say, based upon this: <a href="http://coinauctionshelp.com/how_to_grade_saint_gaudens_double_eagle_grading.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coinauctionshelp.com/how_to_grade_saint_gaudens_double_eagle_grading.html" rel="nofollow">http://coinauctionshelp.com/how_to_grade_saint_gaudens_double_eagle_grading.html</a> , it should grade XF-40 or more, if pictures are true, beacause face of Liberty Lady and other details are better than the XF-40 coin (first from top) in the site&#039;s pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the story, any further help with grading (= what I can expect from selling it) is much appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thamkyou.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
