The Cert is unavailable, and I tend to agree with CoinsKelly that the coin is now raw. Some typical DLRC auction images would be a great help.

I checked Las Vegas Craigslist as well searching $20 gold coin and 1898-S..nothing.
I'll check again in the next few days..Reno as well.
I just have this feeling.

Are dealers not setting up webcams at the shows? Seems like that would be a no brainer. Just asking.

I was at the last Long Beach show with a friend of mine when we came upon a dealer who had coins in the 6 figures.
I asked him if I can see a $350K coin, he said "sure, lift the case".
Now granted, this dealer knew who I was.
But to not lock that case is insanity.
I'm not saying that's what happened in the above case just sharing a personal experience of mine.

Note the gouge above the egle's left (viewer's right) wing. That's going to be a "smoking gun" attribute that will let you quickly ID this coin even from small images.

Only the dealer knows about insurance.
