With a city full of coin shops... he has to assume they know nothing about coins if they are bringing them in to a pawn shop.

The thing that kills me about that episode was the whole... "Grading is expensive" crack... he gets TONS of coins in there (they've talked about it in the past) and I wouldn't be surprised if his "expert" is actually a professional grader. I would suspect that he gets a discount on fees because he can send so many in to get graded.

Very true, but I believe it would be hard to get over MS60 Greysheet Bid ($1240) for this coin raw.


Authenticity issues aside, just about any collector with experience should be able to tell the difference between an MS60 coin and an MS63+ coin.

FWIW, a coworker of mine used to frequent that shop. He was able to buy an Omega replica from them for 1100 dollar a couple of years ago. BEAUTIFUL coin.

Conder101, Thanks for the counterfeiting explanation for the Gold Double Eagle. I have a 1904 Gold Double Eagle that PCGS returned as "Not genuine". Your explanation has been the ONLY info I have been able to find. My main hope is that it is 24kt gold and therefor still worth bullion price.
Regards,
Perry
