I Recently purchased this coin to a Old Person that Heritaged from his Uncle.

I Have been told, this Coin was Given to a OLD MAN (His Uncle), From a Spanish MARINE close close friend., that traveled to Usa (In the ship, together with this crew) to make some Mercantile Goverment Trades with Fort Knox.

Its very interesting, HAS ONE STRUCK ERROR (The name of that Error is Unknown for me) i was very surprised, ...

- Grade ?
- Value Aprox ?.

Im sharing the History , Pictures and Coins with you !.

I hope you didn't pay too much for it.

 

I think it's counterfeit.

 

These were made with writing on the rim , your rim looks completely wrong for the type , if you could post pics with the coin flat at 90 degrees of both sides it would help . Also what does the writing on the rim say ? Also if you could weigh it , it should weigh 416 grains , or 26.96 grams .

 

Looks pretty fake to me.

 

The original post reads like a Craigslist or email scam. Odd words capitalized, weird stories, strange grammar - these things make avoid further contact with Craigslist posters and automatically delete emails.

That coin looks fake, like it came from a cast.

 

The edge is reeded, with a seem in the middle.

 

Yes words incorrectly capitalized, grammer problems. Usually see that on spam. I think it comes from a foreign translator program.

 

There are soooo many varieties in the 1795, as with all the early dollars. If you were trying to authenticate it on design alone, it might take some time. But the edge is a dead giveaway.

 

I have the mind confused now, i dont really know if is Real or Not, i was about to finish the payment for $3000 thinking that was the Big Lottery ... maybe i can send it to PCGS ??? or is %100 Bad to you good people , thank you very much to all for their answers to all !.

 

I didn't know that.

That coin looks fake and for that kind of price

The edge of the coin looks like it was casted. If you want to spend a bunch of money and get a real coin buy a coin from a reputable dealer that is in a reputable grading company's slab.

 

He's saying that it is fake, not real LP. $3000 sounds like someone is trying to scam you.

 

Yes you are right on that, but this person obtained from a 2 generation person, so everyone was thinking was real ... well everyone think that. but here people is saying is fake ... so i dont really know now ............

Question: Whats the Error across the coin ? that Line that Cross the coin ? can be a Mint Error ?

 

Thank you John !, i love coins toooo , but im not an Expert in 1790s so i preffer to post them here to share comments, Other Person PROMISED ME in south AMERICA one DOLLAR of 1976 ... he said to me for tomorrow he will send me the SCANS can i share that PICTURES WITH YOU ??? so we can identify them together ?... i live in south america, and i have a Antique Store, so some people is coming by offering me old coins collections .

I have a lot of Authentic as well of course, ! but just this 1795, and other 1796 that will come tomorrow ...

 

Just because someone has a coin doesn't mean the coin is real.

I don't understand what a 2 generation person is so I'm guessing it's an older person. Look, maybe they think it's real maybe they know it's fake.

It takes me a while to earn $3,000 so if I were to spend it on a coin I would only buy something that I was sure was real.

 

So we are Sure or Not ? i must send it to PCGS or doesnt have any value to send to them .... what you think , forum friends

 

I think it's a fake.

 

Thank you for your opinnion ... i think i will let it pass

 

Listen to Tom. He knows his stuff regarding these pieces........

 

QUESTION: Apart of its Authentic or False, that MISTAKE in the LINE ACROSS the coin ? whats the name ? Struck Error ?, Die Error ?
