My local coin dealer would look up bullion prices and tell me it's only worth melt LOL!

Why do I always look at the edges first? Idk, I do that with Morgans too. Very nice coin.

Every time I get a litter of puppies, everyone says "I'll keep you updated" Hardly ever happens, so really hope you'll tell us what grade it gets!!!

I will, just ordered the shipping kit, so it'll be a few months before I get the graded coins back though.

Way to go I thought it had a good shot at MS64! Definitely glad you didn't let it go for melt, that's for sure. congrats on the grade, you just made a bit of profit on this one I'm sure, as I see it you're up a minimum of $200 and if gold takes off again (a real possibility with Syria and the state of banking in the world) you could do really well if you can afford to hold on to it for awhile. This good news calls for a dancing pepper and banana at least

It was kind of a bitter sweet experience. It cost me just under $500 to get the coin graded, so I'm loosing in the long run. No one from Canada would send the coin in , so had to sign up as a member myself. I would never do it again.

$500 for grading!?! Did you a least get to send some other coins in?

Interesting story and thanks for the follow up.

I sent in some of my other coins, but because I didn't have anything else that was worth grading, I just sent them in for long shots, but they agreed with my grading, so none of the others increased in value due to the grading. I phoned dozens of coin shops all over Canada, but none of them will send in coins for you, they only send in their own. Sounds like it maybe different down where you live in the USA. Lots of little quirky things like they wont ship USA and Canadian coins together, so that's an extra $46 in return shipping right there.
