    im awful at grading these things. I looked at the PCGS photograde and I'm thinking anywhere between a f-15-VF30. No clue.

    Would this coin be detailed because of the rim bump?

    What would you pay for this coin if you were going to add it to your collection?

    Thanks everyone.

    What happened between the first obverse pic and the dipped second obverse pic?

    Camera flash and angle, I would guess.

    Pretty coin eitherway, yummy!

    And considering I prefer coins raw, I could live with that little rim ding. Ive got ancients with worse rim issues them that.

    Even with the rim damage, that one will set you back a 'pretty Penney'.......

    Yes, I'm sure the OP grabbed that gorgeous, naturally-toned 1799 dollar and dipped it white first thing. :rolleyes:

    The last shot is angled and exposed to highlight the rim issue. The rest of the coin is slightly overexposed.

    I don't recommend that you take any "eBay bad picture gambles". ;)

    SLIGHTLY?? Why would anybody post a crap pic when they already had a very good one showing the real coin? Zoom in to the damage to show it!! Don't change the whole coin just for a ding

    Markus - changing the angles just slightly can make the exact same coin look like 2 very different coins. And that's all this was.

    Dipped? How much mint "life" would one expect on a coin minted 216 years ago? I think it's the same coin in both pictures (not dipped between). Especially a circulated one under AU.
