poppett77 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I am trying to upload some of my images but every time i photograph it it just goes blurry i will try again now, my dads coin is not in what i would say good condition as it looks like it has at some point during its life been attached to a chain and worn as a medallion? or something like that its a bit dirty and we are a bit scared to clean it really as i believe you are not supposed to? i will try and get a picture now.

YeOldeCollector Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 If it's been pierced I doubt it's genuine, piercing a coin of such value would be silly but it could be a real gold coin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's damage which reduces the value of the coin, but never below its bullion value. BTW it isn't necessary to post the same question in multiple threads on this forum.
