redbus Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 12/31/2011 6:39 pm Should I send this to NGC for authentication? Thanks, George Report this Post to the Staff
Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 12/31/2011 8:39 pm It could be good idea or maybe a waste of money, I don't know. I don't think it would be a detailed identification like I gave you or it might not be identified or graded at all. But at it's probable value (I have no idea of it's value), it's worth a try. But, I also found this auction: http://www.muenzauktion.com/rittig/...9004&lang=en which is the reason why I'm uncertain of it's value. One is 125 euros another is 25 euros Edited by Apollo 12/31/2011 8:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
