<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2830893, member: 56859&quot;]Looking at the pictures, I&#039;m worried that the coin might be soldered in.&nbsp; It <i>shouldn&#039;t</i> be.&nbsp; It looks like the type of bezel setting that allows coins to be set without soldering-- but the pin lock mechanism covering the upper part of the reverse looks worrisome.&nbsp; Ask the auctioneer whether there is any evidence of soldering.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure what I&#039;d pay for it if it couldn&#039;t be removed from the setting (and without significant damage).&nbsp; Probably not higher than opening, but then I probably wouldn&#039;t bid if the coin couldn&#039;t be removed largely intact.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, we&#039;re betting the coin is authentic but that is really not possible to say with certainty based on images alone.&nbsp; If it is a jeweler&#039;s copy... not worth opening unless you simply love the thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
