Gary, Thank you again. Stephen agrees you are correct. I am new to selling, and am very concerned with accurately representing anything I list. I am correct, that I can now consider the piece as authenticated?
I would contact the Stack's auction company and hear their opinions about what to do now. That is the way to get the $1,000+ price that gxseries keeps insisting it's worth. Otherwise, you may be hard-pressed to get more than $500 for it.
Will do. I just posted a few more unusual items from the collection that were in the same storage box as the sycee and also appear Asian in origin. If you have a chance could you look at them in the Unidentified Coin forum?
It's very interesting that this type only has the silver smith company stamped the usual 3 times which gives it that saddle pack look which it is known for but usually in between the rectangular inscription blocks you find the assayer's stamping that is repeated twice. Sometimes it is found with one set of assayer's marks. But, no marks may signify something such as custom ordered purity and size for specific transactions. These days I see this type sell around $800 to $1200 on ebay. Probably a bit better in the big coin auctions.
