1795 Silver Dollar. Genuine?

You should report him to ebay to save the buyer. We know the coin is fake. Why should an uneducated buyer get burned?

I did click on the Report Button and submitted it. Might take several of us to do it for ebay to pick up on it.

 

To make it easier for anyone who wants to report (this is via the desktop version of eBay's website):

The coin is fake. Here is mine I ordered from China. Notice how the denticles are uneven, how the edge is beveled, how there is a wire rim in places, and how the details are fuzzy. Those are diagnostics for Modern Chinese counterfeits.

I think mine was struck from the same die as the OP's.

 

This is up to $240 on eBay. I let the seller know that the buyer could return the coin even though they say that "the seller does not allow returns" if it is a counterfeit. Supposedly it is "their son's coin."

 

On their other posts they say it is their grandfathers.

 

Maybe numismatics runs in the family.

 

I have one somewhere in a VF20 slab. I'll try to pull it and take a look-see comparison but I would run from this if only because of the seller's bad vibes and conditions.

 

Item has been removed. It is no longer available.

 

Looks fake to me.

 

Once a week I get these offered for sale or asking for an appraisal. Most recent story was...

"Found this while digging on a construction site wrapped in a cloth" in California!!

Unfortunately when I told one of these frauds that their coin they were offering was fake, they threatened to write a bad Yelp review... Ugh
