<p>[QUOTE="GoldCoinLover, post: 653830, member: 4336"]Glad to help, take it to a dealer who is knowledgeable to have them check it out, if you want to submit it to a TPG. Because of their incuse design and size, these are very hard to authenticate and grade. Hopefully its a nice genuine example, I suggest also next time you buy any gold on ebay, always buy certified by either PCGS, NGC, or ANACS. There is just too much fake raw gold on ebay..</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember when I bought my first raw gold half eagle...it was an indian as well. It was from a very reputable shop in Nevada..I forget the name. To make a long story short, they had a PCGS grader working there.
