<p>[QUOTE="gfhoward, post: 1632634, member: 44125"]Hey guys, I have a rare 22k gold Olympic commemorative medallion, made for the 1968 games. There's very little info out there about this coin, but it was made by Numismatica Iberia, one of the leading private mints in Mexico. I'm including a link to pictures and more info below. I don't think I want to sell it as it was given to my dad, and from my dad to me, but I am curious about two things. 1) Would PCGS or NGC grade such a thing? If so, it might be worth it should I ever want to sell it, as the buyer would be assured of its authenticity. On the other hand, then it would not be in its original wallet anymore. What would you do? 2) Since it's an obscure Olympic commemorative, I'm wondering what the best marketplace would be if I ever chose to sell it. I could sell it for bullion, but I assume an Olympic commemoratives collector would appreciate it more. Where do those types of buyers tend to hang out? Thank you for your thoughts. Here's a link to pictures and info on the medallion:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.taxfreegold.co.uk/1968mexicoolympicsgoldmedallion.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.taxfreegold.co.uk/1968mexicoolympicsgoldmedallion.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.taxfreegold.co.uk/1968mexicoolympicsgoldmedallion.php</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
