An 1804 Silver Dollar to the collection

Hey guys, I picked this up in a cheap market in Thailand, I could'nt believe a million dollar coin would be sitting there for 4$ so there was no way I could pass up on it.
I really trusted the lady that sold it to me, she was really nice so I have no doubt that it is authentic.

Glad to be back. Still uber busy so I'll be working on an update post.
Enjoy:

wow!

I wish that I had been there!

Ya lucky guy.

 

Nice addition. :high5: And bought from a nice Thai lady, it must be real.
Actally it doesn't look to bad for four bucks. :thumb:

 

No need to send it to a TPG.
It's obviously authentic.
But to document its MS-70 condition you might want to send it to SGS.

 

Did this lady have any relationship with the King of Siam?

 

Snaz,

Congats on a nice purchase! Now don't you wish that you had bought a whole bag of them at $4 each as you could surely sell them on eBay as "Real...Real" for at least $6 each? I would bet that you could get a better Cell in a better Prison than Madoff!

Looks like a 71 to me...:whistle:

 

Golly dang a 71, some people have all the luck.

 

Cool.

 

Hey everybody ! It's time to play America's favorite home fun game...

TOP 10 REASONS I KNOW THIS COIN IS REAL

10. He got it in Thailand. Thailand is not China.
9. It doesn't have "COPY" stamped on it, so it's gotta be real.
8. There's one on E-Bay just like it.
7. Tough anti-counterfeiting laws in Thailand.
6. Diagnostics prove it's made from the same reverse die as my 1805 silver dollar.
5. ???

anybody else wanna play ?

 

5. It says 1804 on the coin.

4. Uncle Bernard said it was a sweet deal and I need to get in on the ground floor on this one.

 

3. Seller had a cute daughter and everyone knows the way to a girl's heart is through her mother. Kiss

That must be the "King of Siam" example, or at least maybe the "Street merchant of Siam" example.

 

2. E-bay auction where the seller has no idea about the value of these things but found it in great grandmothers old trunk which was in an attic in an old house that had never been picked through since the old girl passed away 60 years ago...........

 

I've got a ticket to Thailand and eight bucks. I'm prepared to pay double.
What's with the different looking '4' and the top middle of the shield, and the ' us' in unum?

 

AND THE #1 REASON I KNOW THIS COIN IS REAL . . . . .

1. Doug didn't say it wasn't! :mouth:

Ribbit :goofer:

I would bet that Doug will tip his' hat to that one!!!
