[QUOTE="JickyD, post: 3563334, member: 93046"]I picked this up yesterday at an estate sale hoping it may be real. I have very little experience in dealing with them, so I'm seeking advice if I should send it in to be graded, or if it's obviously a fake and I shouldn't waste my money. Weight wise it's okay and it's not magnetic. I don't see any bumps indicating it's been cast. All looks pretty good to my novice eye, in fact it looks suspiciously too good. The doubling on the letters match those nearly exactly as shown on the NGC website ([I]see side-by-side comparison[/I]). The eyes on my dragon are worn more than the rest of the coin, particularly when comparing to how pristines the dots around the edge look. What do you think?[ATTACH=full]947483[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]947484[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]947485[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
