Hello everyone, i found this coin going through my father's old things. I don't know much about coins and can't find the exact same one for sale anywhere. Wondering what it's worth and if it's particularly collectible; I'm sure someone would appreciate it much more than me.

 

Thank you!

Wow, I must say that it is a very special coin and very collectable. Verified genuine, slabbed, and graded by NGC. I took the liberty of looking up the certificate number and it is a match. Only 3 graded by NGC this high (MS61) and 2 higher. Current melt value $3606.24 but should fetch significantly more. Go dad!

Thank you! Would you recommend an auction service to sell it? I just know they probably have crazy fees

Stacks Bowers, Heritage Auctions, Great Collections, and a few others. They will give you the exposure this coins needs and high end buyers and collectors regulary shop these auctions.  These companies will get you top dollar and buyers usually pay most of the fees. You can always shop around and ask what it will cost YOU out of pocket if any. You also may be able to place a reserve price on it where if the bidding does not exceed that minimum, no sale. Ebay for instance will take about 15% whatever it sells for off the top from you and not the buyer. Tread carefully, be patient, do your homework, and deal with professional people. This example is desireable to everybody but most will offer melt value only so they can profit from your lack of knowledge and experience. You want buyers with deep pockets who want it for their collection and not buyers who want to flip it. I want it but dont have deep pockets. Haha. Just being honest.
