Message:: [QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1308933, member: 29751"]OK, I'm going to add just a bit more.  IF your item is real, it seems to match the Getz Pattern coins of 1792.  You would of course want to have it authenticated, as there are MANY copies of this piece.  I wouldn't get too excited about it's authenticity or value until you can get a knowledgable set of eyes to look at it.  Here is a listing to a recent Heritage Auction (<a href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1102&lotNo=138&type=prte-pr031008a&short=1102*138#Photo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1102&lotNo=138&type=prte-pr031008a&short=1102*138#Photo" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1102&lotNo=138&type=prte-pr031008a&short=1102*138#Photo</a>) and here is a link to another site with an example of a copy (<a href="http://www.coins.nd.edu/WashToken/WashTokenText/1792b.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coins.nd.edu/WashToken/WashTokenText/1792b.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coins.nd.edu/WashToken/WashTokenText/1792b.html</a>).  Yours unfortunately seems to match the copy better (look at the spacing between "President" and "I.").  If it is real, it's worth a lot.  If it's fake, at least you'll know. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Best of luck,-Brandon[/QUOTE]
