I would send it to ANAC's first. It's only $10 plus shipping both ways.

Once ANAC's authenticates the coin, then you can search for comparables at auctions and decide if the premium justifies the horendous fee from PCGS to send it off to them.

The one detail that makes me suspect this is legit is that the " RICA" is not mirrored. When a coin is hammered against another, you end up with a mirror image. I would also guess that there may be additional signs on the reverse.

Good Luck in getting it slabbed.

Well, I have been busy doing other stuff, but did manage to pick up and search a few bags

Very nice finds there gman ! ......and hopefully the "busy doing other stuff" was fun stuff. 8)

Speaking of foreign finds, I picked up a 20 drachmai coin from Greece ('88) today.

When you get a chance, I dropped you a PM a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks,

Nice work brother.

You are a machine when it comes to looking through those bags, especially those darn cents.
