Hi,
An older retired friend (mid 70's) asked me a few times about selling these 3 coins he has had for 30+ years.
I guess he is ready now. After browsing previous threads on this coin I have a few questions I hope someone can help me with so I can help my friend sell these.
1. I read that this year is often counterfieted. do these look genuine.
2. Should these be certified before selling to prove they are genuine. The first coin has a nasty scratch on it and will not grade.
3. Most of the raw I saw on eBay sold around $300+ MS ones over $400. Do you think #2 or 3 will grade high enough to warrant submitting.
Sorry for the poor pics, I took them at work.
Rookie Joe,
He also has a few other items that were pretty cool. My camera battery died out in the middle of pics I will redo them on Friday.
George II coin as the base for some kind of cup, I only took a quick look at it but will take pics on Friday.

I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

Coin #2 has noticeable contact marks in the obverse field at bridge of nose. Not likely to merit a Mint State certified grade.
Coin #3 the image is too grainy to determine surface quality, but it does appear to have foreign matter in portions of the incuse devices, including the date. Not likely to be a candidate for grading either, unless much better images provide a more accurate evaluation.
