2nd opinion on 1798 Dollar

I agree. There are a couple of light planchet laminations, which also suggest originality. The scratches look light, old and toned-over. Pretty coin.

If you are interested in the coin, the seller has a solid return policy on this coin that is clearly written down, I think it's not a bad buy depending on the price.

Looks legitimate to me, and a very nice coin.

Remember, the SP-66 1794 flowing hair dollar was raw at some point in time...

 

small die break at 11:00?

 

Wow very nice coin I personally don’t care if it’s been dipped and retained it’s a nice piece but this coin I would submit to a grading service just to safe

 

I could never afford a coin like this

 

Agree with others...My first thought was is it raw? and why isn't it graded? Be careful!

 

I too have seen some very good copies I would be careful if m looking for a museum copy of a liberty no motto 10 and a type one twenty for my gold type pages I want to fill up a holes till I can raise the money for genuine pieces if anyone knows where I can get good museum copies of these coins let me know thanks

 

Gosh, I hope that is not true. How would you/we know if some fakes deceive the professionals?

 

Lots of continuous study and alertness.

Here is a counterfeit 1798 large cent that got by all of the major TPGs. It was not found out until an astute EAC member saw that the Y was of the incorrect shape and alerted the community.

That one example lead to this family portrait and started more digging into many more deceptive denominations and "varieties"...


The image I use in my profile is of one of these as well!

I agree with others here- the posted bust dollar looks original, and this variety is not on our radar screen of the latest deceptive counterfeits.

 

Nothing about the coin suggests "fake" to me. But, it's very hard to judge surfaces and luster from photos, and I would not purchase a coin like this outside of a legit TPG slab. Too many of them have been messed with.

 

Finger prints

 

Good eye sis. Do you see finger prints at 12

 

Yeah, I guess that would have been my main concern too - and if it would have gotten a straight grade or not from a TPG service...

 

Exactly. These days, if one sees a higher grade piece of early bust coinage that is raw, you have to ask yourself, "Why?"

 

FYI - this coin was sold yesterday for 9k Euro - about $10k yesterday

 

With that hint, I bring you:

I'm surprised that no one mentioned the rim ding on this coin. Wouldn't that warrant a Details grade?
