[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 325076, member: 6370"]Love that hoover medal. :) As for Sears...I would weigh the cost of the coin with the cost of getting him to authenticate (40 dollars these days?). I would also take into account how much you suspect the coin not to be authentic. If you have serious doubts about a pricey coin...40 bucks is a small price to pay to ease your mind or let you know for sure you have a fake. You could also do something like join the CFDL (Coin Forgery Discussion List) or Moneta-L list and post it there, get some peoples opinions...not quite the same but if some of those guys give it a thumbs up, that might be all you need. People like Barry Murphy or Curtis Clay could probably give you a good idea without you having to pay, they could also be found at forum ancient coins and Ancientsinfo. In the end I would keep Sears as a last resort if the above people and places couldnt help you at all.[/QUOTE]
