<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 4831566, member: 110226&quot;]Thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a story behind this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1992 I made one of my weekend visits to my favorite coin shop in San Jose, California.&nbsp; The owner, who had an amazing assort of coins, ranging from US to world to ancients, received three coins from a man from the Central Valley area.&nbsp; The coins were an Old Man dollar, a 1590 8 reales of Philip II and the Brillentaler.</p><p><br /></p><p>I purchased the 8 reales and the thaler.&nbsp; The Old Man dollar was sent to ANACS for certification.&nbsp; A few weeks later the coin came back with a certificate.&nbsp; So, I purchased the Old Man dollar with the ANACS certificate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fast forward to 2018.&nbsp; I decided to send the Old Man dollar to NGC for certification.&nbsp; About a month later it came back as not genuine.&nbsp; I checked with Steve Album, who confirmed that it was a coin produced in New York City in the 1950s.&nbsp; I was able to exchange the coin with the dealer, who I had a long relationship with, so all was not lost.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still have the Philip II 1590 8 reales, Segovia, and hope to post it in the near future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
