<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ButItsSoShiny, post: 1365271, member: 29168&quot;]Sheesh, doesn&#039;t take much to get you going does it? All i said was that i was going to get a coin i just purchased slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>But on the plus side, i did learn that these coin graders won&#039;t authenticate older coins like this. I just wanted to make sure i didn&#039;t pay more than the gold content for a coin that was fake. I was thinking that it wouldn&#039;t be that hard for someone to fake coins like this. Since its not an excellent example, i&#039;m not so keen now to slab it. I do like holding these old coins in my hand, and one reason i wanted to slab it was to help preserve it.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then i saw a coin that was in much much better condition than mine and that burst my bubble a little (just a little, as that person was selling it for x8 what i paid) as i thought my coin was an excellent example of this coin. The seller scanned the coin so it was hard to assess it properly but the detail looked good and it was struck in the center which other examples seem to be off to the side slightly or missing their rim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
