1798 bust dollar

Anyone who deals with seated coins has undoubtedly heard of him before. I'm sure others will chime in and vouch for him.

I can't speak for anyone other than myself, and I certainly didn't state anything unequivocably. The reason I thought it may be NG was because of the odd looking date.

That said, I think the situation was exacerbated by the small photos. Now, looking at the larger photos it seems (at least to me) that the coin appears to be genuine.

Regardless, I stick by my comments -- this is a coin I would shy away from for the digs and other problems even if genuine. Others may have (and are certainly entitled to) a differing opinion....Mike

 

p.s. from all that I've read and heard, the seller in question (Jason/Seateddime) is a good guy.
