<p>[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1210782, member: 22004"]A local fellow offered to sell me a gold "stater" coin for a little over gold melt. He already offered to a local shop owner who was not interested as he could not authenticate it, or even know for sure it had much gold in it. Is there any way to handle a deal like this without losing money? I have thought of giving him a $200 deposit, with the understanding that I would send it to NGC on the express tier to get it slabbed, pay that expense myself, and if it were authenticated, I would pay an additional $200. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is this a winning or losing proposition?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
