1797 7x6 star dollar

Sorry that dollar doesn't look real at all.

You will have to get much better photos of the cent to get help.
It does not look right, just my opinion though.

 

ok, so you didn't give up anything of value. I'd call it a fair trade. You paid five cents for a fake coin.

 

The large cent appears genuine, although worn enough so that it lost the date, so something you might find in a $1 junk box. See if your "dollar" is attracted to a magnet. BTW welcome to CT

 

China special. Reverse should be a small eagle. You need to get a red book or something.

 

He said 1999 wide am. Worth a tad more then a cent

 

Chances are, it wasn’t what he though it was.

 

The dollar is attracted to magnet.

 

silver is non-magnetic
so .... another indicator that it is a fake.

 

The dollar is attracted to magnet.

I knew what it was, just like the 2 on a small date 82, I am able to differentiate the obvious wide, close, or closed on 92, 93, 98, 99, and 2000 “AM” in America on the reverse side of the pennies dated (thank you to those that shared a penny of their thought and knowledge in those cents). The gentleman knew what he was doing, did, and he knows that he won. Just gave him a ring and lefr a voicemail, I am hopeful that he returns my call so we can make the deal right or trade back.

 

Yeah. Give him back his hunk or iron. Whould get the 99 back for sure.

 

Most definitely and hand him back 99 pennies of my thoughts or problems for trying to “jook” me. I do not go through 4k pennies a week for that man to just take advantage of my penny pinching. Yes, I said it, 4000 pennies weekly coinesseuring.

 

Perhaps.... but perhaps not. Of course we could say for sure if the OP was to post a photo.

If this is the case, and as sad as this may be to admit, I'd have to say the OP got the better end of the deal and is particularly true if he accepted this as a lesson learned about buying or trading for what we do not possess the required knowledge to do so safely.

 

Bummer...I bought a Libertad, got it home, it was attracted to a magnet...called the guy who sold it to me and he said he would take it back. Put a pic on CT and everyone said what a nice proof coin. Gave it back to him and ended up buying this:


from him. Reputable people stand behind their deals.

 

Guy gave me a call, he said for me to look at other coins for he had already moved my trade that same day... I told him that was okay, but I need to see some proof of what he sold them for to know that what my trade limit is, he stuttered a bit, so I give him the 50/50 benefit of all doubts... if he shows, I will take you all with and take kodaks and start a poll... I am a little bummed out though but we will see what type of change he has in his collection. And about the red book, if it will help me classify and identify coinage, where can I get one? Thank you all for your piece of minds... cheers!

 

The Red Book can be found at book stores and on line. Try this: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...x=whitman+red+book,aps,230&crid=1ZNN5ACTQJ8HF

 

Thank you very much!

 

You're welcome!

 

Honestly, don't buy a new one. You can't trust the prices in them since they come out once a year, but the information is great. Save a buck and get one 1-2 years old.

 

Noted... will look in brand local brand used site sales.
