<p>[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 696469, member: 7638"]"...I see nothing about BNB's coin here that makes me think fake or cleaned. I just don't think it's possible to tell with 100% certainty from the photos provided. I also disagree with those that say any coin like this would be slabbed already if it was real or didn't have problems. The certifcation companies grade hundreds of problem free coins every day and not all of them were cracked out of slabs and resubmitted. And with common date common grade gold coins, the certification costs probably outweigh any gain in value from certification since they are priced based on the gold value and not on the numismatic grade. Sure, there is value in certification to guarantee a coin is genuine, but that is less needed if you're buying from a trusted dealer and I don't know enough about the seller of BNB's coin to make a judgment in that regard. At any coin show there are at least a few dealers with a decent pile of raw $20s and not all of them have problems."</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with illini. Please post photos when you have the coin. If you ask for an opinion, I will offer mine. If you don't, I won't.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
