<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1159016, member: 13650&quot;]Hi.&nbsp; Welcome to the site.&nbsp; My advice would be to approach these with cautious optimism.&nbsp; You should know in advance that many newcomers have come to this site with similar old coins that turned out to be fakes.&nbsp; There are MANY fakes out there.&nbsp; Most can be spotted if you post even basic pics here.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Lets put it this way.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;d say it&#039;s far more likely that there are some fakes in this group than all of them being authentic.&nbsp;&nbsp; But, they all could be real too.&nbsp; We won&#039;t have a good idea unless you post them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; There were only 423,515&nbsp; 1799 dollars ever made, with probably a small fraction of them left in known existence.&nbsp;&nbsp; The 1848 had a mintage of only 15k with probably a small fraction of them left in known existence.&nbsp; (Many coins are lost and melted over time reducing the original number significantly.)&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; These are not every day coins (like Morgans) that people happen upon in an old box too often.&nbsp;&nbsp; If ever.&nbsp; Real ones anyway.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; It would be a pretty amazing find for coins that valuable to be forgotten about.&nbsp; It has happened though.&nbsp; &nbsp; Try to post pics if you can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
