lotuseater Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hi Folks, I have an 1818 Texas jola "Lone Star". A collector/Ebay auctioneer friend of mine helped me do some research on it and the general consensus at coin universe seems to be that there is no way to authenticate them, that they are either all real or all fake... He's waiting on an answer from an expert. What do you guys think? I saw two auctioned recently, one for $46K and another for about $25K I don't have enough days on the forum or posts to advertise but how would I go about selling this coin? I live in the Philippines and even if it could be authenticated, what's the first step in doing that? And if it can't, what now? Thanks all!

ccg Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Easiest thing to do on a big hit and miss is send it to a major auction house and let them take care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotuseater Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hey ccg, You mean just send it in? I emailed several big ones and they haven't gotten back. Shouldn't we talk about it first or something? If I just send it directly, who would you recommend? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Try calling if you're not getting an email response and want to discuss first. Auction houses generally post their conditions and terms, and it's not unusual for a consignor to send items with a packing slip, any instructions they may have (e.g. reserve) and contact info.
