<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2134333, member: 36230"]One option would be to send to a Third Party Grading Service (TPG) such as PCGS or NGC, but between shipping and their fees, it would also be the most costly option as well. As for if I believe it worthwhile to have the "coin" examined, I do not unfortunately. Now I am certainly no expert on the real deal, but have seen more knock-offs over the years than I care to remember. Your situation is not unique, and in my experience it's fairly common to come across one of said knock-offs without realizing how truly common they are, so going mostly off of my familiarity with so-called replicas added to what I've learned over the years about the originals, it is my most humble and respectful opinion that yours is not genuine. I do not say this with absolute certainty, but fairly close to it. It is hard to explain, but your "coin" displays a crudeness common to the aforementioned pieces produced for novelty purposes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
