[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4973943, member: 105098"]Agree with Randy on this, send it for grading, no matter what it's worth the cost because the value is there unless it's fake, and you'll get your money back for the grading cost as well as lock in a reasonable price for it when you do sell it. If legit, not a problem "details" graded coin, sell it on Heritage or one of the other auction house sites and get your top dollar and let the buyer pay their fees. even if it's a "details" problem coin, as long as it's genuine, it's worth going the extra mile for top dollar with Great Collection, Heritage or any one of the other auction houses, and tell that dealer to pound sand. But, I'm struggling with the pictures, it appears to be obverse #4, but the angle is off so it doesn't look like it lines up how #4 should. it's likely the angle, but... And I can't make out the VDB from the angle and the distance, things look in the right place, but I'd like to really see the V and the B up close. check on font and spacing. maybe someone else can see it better than me or work with the images. It looks legit to me based on the S location, but it's one of those coins that faked so much that like all of the genuine ones, even problem coins, are graded and slabbed at this point because of the values of them, and all ungraded examples should be highly suspected, since there's a whole lot of fakes and some are really good copies. I agree, should send it for grading, PCGS or NGC, it's looks nice and if it pans out genuine, the grading will help you sell it easy. people are scary with ungraded examples, the slab adds a ton of confidence to buyers.[/QUOTE]
