Need your opinion on the +/- grade, price of this coin.... It is real deal!... We showed it to a coin dealer... but do not want to be taken... Thank you. ">
First thing I'd do is submit it to a grading service at have it graded and authenticated. Prices I saw are $900 in G4 and $1,250 in F12
I doubt that this DB $1 is genuine. See edge lettering and raised rim. If it is real it looks like a harshly cleaned VG+ to F grade. Variety: BB-142, B-1, R-2. Below are some diagnostics. 1799 Draped Bust/Heraldic Eagle Dollars Obverse Stars Arranged 7 left & 6 right 1799/8 Overdate/13 Stars Reverse Leaf tip under center of I/Berry below right foot of A Die flaws generally seen surrounding the I I would expect a dealer to offer $600-$900 depending on what market they serve. If you get it certified/holdered as genuine you could expect closer to $800-900 and perhaps it could fetch $1000-$1200 on ebay if holdered as genuine.
