I was at a yard sale a few hours ago and a guy had an 1876 Double in a Necklace Bezel. It was heavily polished and grades VG/F12 on detail alone. So, I saw the jewelry/coin at his table and I figured this guy was gonna say it was like $1000. So I asked him and he said $10. I'm thinking about going to a jewelers to have it weighed and tested for gold. See pics:

    I took is business card, so if it turns out to be real I would make sure to do that.

    Thanks for the pics

    yeah, an UNC. piece is almost an ounce of gold, but in this VG/F condition, I would suspect it has 3/4 of an ounce. (if its real)

    Interesting... but not sure it is real... of course, the picture is not really good enough. I hope it is real... good luck. Cheers, RickO

    With that much extreme wear and polish, I doubt that coin could ever be authenticated. Hopefully it's made of 900 fine gold so it's worth at least melt value.

    It is OK to rip a dealer, but not OK to rip a collector?
