To my eye, it looked fine, but given its rarity is there anything which looks off? I am aware that there are a few scratches left of Liberty, so it may not straight grade. If good they will likely have it slabbed and auctioned. I have no skin in this game, in case anyone is wondering, so you can't disappoint me! Report this Post to the Staff

If it's real...what a coin! And I thought VAM'ers were weird (no offence) The obverse PMD is a bummer...but if it's the real deal...wow! If you're interested in buying this...I would "try" and make a deal with the shop and offer a 50% discount that you'd pay for the authentication if she comes back good if you pay for her to be sent out. If she comes back bunk...you're out...what? $50 If she comes back good...you're up a couple hundo... Just a thought On coins like this...with no obvious no's...I'd gamble! Let's see what other's have to say? smat Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 11/28/2025 06:54 am Thanks for the comments; they confirm what my inexperienced eye suggested. Yes, it's a pity that it's a bit bunged up. This is not one that I am looking to acquire (at least not at its expected sale price!). A slabbing and a US auction are the best bet, I agree. Our local market would be unlikely to attract enough attention. But since we are in Canada there are some complications. I was told that there are insurance limitations. Report this Post to the Staff
