Looks Okay to me. If ANAC graded it and the holder hasn't been tampered with then what else can we say but genuine, no?
It looks genuine to me. It matches the BB-51 die marriage. The obverse is the correct off-centered bust for the die marriage-Check!. The B is directly over the highest hair curl-Check! The lowest curl is distant from 1-CHECK! The reverse is the correct one to match the obverse: Small Letters-Check! Eagle stands on clouds-Check! Right wreath is palms-Check! Left wreath is olives with seven berries-Check! Berry under A of STATES-Check! In addition to the die marriage characteristics, nothing about it speaks to a clever, well-done forgery. So, what about it gives you the willies?
It looks genuine, but the surfaces have been stripped at given a layer of artificial toning that looks really artificial. It was probably part of the plugging process.
Yes, the US Mint plugged it for sure especially since it's graded. Big ticket item, way beyond my finances!
The Mint didn't plug it. It was holed by someone at 12:00 on the obverse after it left the mint and someone has plugged the hole and recolored the coin.
Well we all know the US Mint plugged coins around that time frame, yes you're right. Yes, obvious to me now, that's why it's in a details slab. https://www.stacksbowers.com/News/Pages/Blogs.aspx?ArticleID=1795-silver-plug-march-2020
The U.S. Mint drove additional metal into the planchets to increase their weight during 1794 and part of 1795, not to fill a hole that someone drove into the planchets. I might be wrong, but I believe that these "plugged pieces" were limited to the Flowing Hair type dollars which were struck a few months earlier that these pieces. I am not aware of any Draped Bust dollars that had plugs for weight augmentation. The Specimen Strike of the 1794 dollar, which is graded SP-66 and has changed hands for $12 million, has such a plug. Look at the area on Ms. Liberty's neck and jaw.
The coin is real but, it wasn't plugged at the mint. The plugging was done to fill a hole drilled in it to hang on a chain.
Not fake. However, it is in my opinion unattractive besides the hole/plug and not something I would want to spend $3k on.
There is a guy that does great work today. I don't know if he did my coin but whoever did it did a great job. One thing he does though is not make it perfect. You can see that when you look at the T. The person had the skill to make it almost impossible to detect. But left something that could be detected.
