Ben:
Wow, do you have any life outside of coins?
I thought that I read a lot, but to id the specific coin?
Nice catch, nice post.
But, ya really gotta get a life!
(LOL, just kidding, if you do, then so do I.)

 

Frank, I could sit here all day around Christmas and the New Year (the office, wife's business) and never seen another soul, LOL. It's been slow this time of year. Hence, the time to concentrate on coins...

Did you dig that coin out of the bottom of the Delaware River?

 

If you found it on E-Bay, it's probably good. :rolling:

 

ebay, of course, where else does one buy coins.

 

You could always shoot that deer in your back yard.

 

I don't think I've ever seen a draped bust dollar with dentils that look like that.

Fake is my gut feeling, but I am anything but knowledgable on these coins...MIke

 

p.s. reading the rest of the posts, it sure is a good thing I'm not an authenticator.
