[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1238778, member: 15929"]1. Grading Services make their living off of peoples trust and if you cannot deal with or understand that, then put the coin back into your keepsake box and let your heirs deal with it. 2. Its an absolute MUST that the coin gets authenticated as there are counterfeits out there. Once authenticated, it would be a very valuable peice but with out that authentication, its simply a questionable piece. 3. The best security available is always the obvious. In leiu of simply having some stranger look at the coin, thereby revealing its presence and your possession of the coin, the possibilities become endless BUT its the first step toward authentication. If it passes muster then call PCGS and speak with a customer service rep on how to proceed or better yet, have them put you in contact with Don Willis and he can give you some good guidance. Don is the President of PCGS and he will return your call for details on such a significant find. There are many very trustworthy individuals in the coin business and at some point in time, you'll have to trust them. Remember, they do not make their livings and keep their reputations by ripping folks off. Its their jobs and their pretty good at them. Good Luck.[/QUOTE]
