Should I Get This Swiss Stamp Expertized?

Found this Swiss stamp, it's either Scott 100, CV $47.50, or Scott 103 (reengraved) CV $16,250.
Does anyone know this stamp and the differences between the 2.
Scott says 'the impression of the reengraved stamps is much clearer, especially the horizontally lined background.
The figures of value are lined instead of being solid.
So, the figures don't look lined, but there is no example of the reengraved stamps in Scott to compare to.
Is this worth getting expertized because the reengraved version is so valuable?

Scott also states "The figures of value are lined instead of being solid" for the reprint.

Your stamp does not look like it has the dark blue color of the 3rd printing 79C.

Note the Bottom end of the "5".

Until you get a certificate saying it is not a $16,000 stamp, or you get enough expertise to be 100% sure that it is not, it will bother you.

Looking at the scan, I'll guess that your stamp is not the valuable one, as noted by perf12. Worth noting that even if this was the valuable one, the stamp is seriously flawed. The perfs cut far into the design on the left side. Your stamp, if it was the valuable one, probably wouldn't sell for more than a few hundred dollars. Of course, a few hundred is better than nothing.

This website doesn't have the 25 re-issue but it does have the 5 (Scott 98 & 101) side by side. You can see the lining of the numeral in the reprint, and as perf12 points out the bottom of the 5 is narrower in the original

It is a 100.

The key is in the last reference. The re-engraved stamp is comb perf (perfect alignment of perf rows and columns in stamp corners). The original, #100, is line perfed, as is doodah's. It is still interesting as most #100s have weak or worn engraving and I can understand why he would wonder about this.

It should be noted that in the 2nd printings you can find line & comb perfs.

Thanks for all your help, wish it was a Scott 103, but still learned a lot
