<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5166781, member: 19463"]I see your dilemma. The coin looks good but any coin from this region of the world is automatically suspect in my eye to the point I only buy if dealing with a trusted and knowledgeable dealer - not a flea market - since I KNOW I do not know enough to play in that particular pool without a lifeguard. I like the coin enough that I might risk buying it but I would not be able to sell it to a collector and guarantee its authenticity. If I tired of the coin I would only sell it to a dealer 'old enough to know better' and would always wonder about the coin. If you sent it to NGC would it come back as 'ineligible type'? If not, would I be curious enough to pay $50 to find out what they thought? Do I have enough coins already in this category? This time of year we are forced to make decisions like "Do I need more dessert?" and "Should I go out in public?". Do I need a coin with drama? I have enough drama in my life right now. "Your mileage may differ."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
