<p>[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 13459, member: 487"]GDJMSP is correct. The 1855-D is a highly collectible coin. Dahlonga coins are highly prized among collectors and many will look past the value killers such as cleaning and mountings. While it certainly effects the price to a great deal, it doesn't in the same degree to which a Philly coin with the same conditions would be. </p><p>Jewelry mounting was and still is a very common practice for gold coins. Because of their small size, they are perfect candidates. Most dealers can spot this easily. This ability comes from viewing many coins repeatedly. There are many things about coins that can be passed through collectors. If you resubmit this coin to PGCS or NGC, your odds are 100% that it will come back in a body bag as stated. They are both clear in what they will grade. Anacs is a very respected grading service, and your coin will have no problem selling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
