Ulfvinur2 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Coin was passed down through the family since 1911. In last 5 years, I've had offers ranging from the melt value up into the 30k range. Already know it's genuine, my question is, "should I hang onto it, or get it graded and sell it"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Don't know who thought it was worth 30k but they are selling on eBay certified for around $1500.00 in average condition. As far as selling, that is strictly up to you, I don't know your financial situation. If you are going to sell, then get it graded as this will verify that it is genuine.

There is so much fake gold out there that sending it in to NGC can only help its value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conder101 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 OK, the coin is circulated and has about $1,414 worth of gold in it so $1,500 is probably pretty realistic. The problem with getting it graded is that selling it raw might get you $1,460, certified gets you $1,500 and getting it certified is going to cost you about $50. So net after paying for certification may get you less than just selling it raw. If it was AU or uncirculated it might be different, but for a circulated piece like this most all the value is in the gold content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
