What would you do with the $5,000 or so if you sold it? If you don't have a great answer, then hold onto it.

I just came across this thread, awesome story. I would vote you keep the coin unless you have a real need for the money.

If it had been me, I would be doing exactly the same thing because we could certainly use the extra $5k. I wish you the best of luck with the auction! In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I'm so happy to see this outcome as so many of these are fakes. I'll join those who say that if you see a coin and are asked if it is original or fake - it's so wrong to just say 'fake' without any supporting information. I'm so proud to be a member of this community but get so angry when members shout 'fake' and provide no supporting facts. OK, my rant is over.

Congratulations! IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I checked the listing before I scrolled down. That's a beautiful outcome to this topic! The last I checked, it was at $3,000. That's one heck of an inheritance and the authentication/grading was more than well worth it. Congratulations, Rarefindsrus, and that was certainly a rare find!
