<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cringely, post: 2112629, member: 22271&quot;]About 5 years ago, I bought (for close to $3,000) a similar 1795 dollar at a San Diego Coin show. Looked great, obverse and reverse graded near EF, lightly cleaned. Sounded like a good coin to fit into my type set.</p><p>However, the lettered edge spelling was not correct and I was told that (unlike bust halves) incorrect spelling was not found on Bust dollars. It turned out that Coin World did a column on 1795 counterfeits and mine was, in fact, the exact same counterfeit. To check, I sent it off to PCGS and it came back &quot;Questionable Authenticity&quot;</p><p>Now to the good part, the (LA area) dealer not only returned my purchase price, but also included the $50 I paid PCGS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
