<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nesvt, post: 122927, member: 1749&quot;]I am posting this for my brother. He bought this on eBay and it arrived today. He has a few questions and I know nothing about gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s raw and circulated. He paid $208 + $8 S&amp;H. When he got the coin, he noticed a mark near the L in LIBERTY. Upon closer examination, he found other marks evenly spaced apart around the coin. He took some good pictures and added arrows. It may have been mounted as a piece of jewelry. If so, I told him PCGS would not grade it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think it was mounted in jewelry at one time?</p><p>Grade?</p><p>Would it slab at PCGS?</p><p>Value?</p><p>Should he return it?</p><p>Real or Fake?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks folks!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.greenmountainaccess.net/~nesvt/1913_half_eagle_1.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.greenmountainaccess.net/~nesvt/1913_half_eagle_1.jpg" rel="nofollow">obverse1</a> </p><p><a href="http://www.greenmountainaccess.net/~nesvt/1913_half_eagle_2.JPG" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.greenmountainaccess.net/~nesvt/1913_half_eagle_2.JPG" rel="nofollow">reverse</a></p><p><a href="http://www.greenmountainaccess.net/~nesvt/1913_half_eagle_3.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.greenmountainaccess.net/~nesvt/1913_half_eagle_3.jpg" rel="nofollow">obverse2</a></p><p><a href="http://www.greenmountainaccess.net/~nesvt/1913_half_eagle_5.JPG" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.greenmountainaccess.net/~nesvt/1913_half_eagle_5.JPG" rel="nofollow">closeup</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
