My 87 yo neighbor says this 1795 was found in a chest that her father owned. Told her how rare the real thing is and how often faked. Your thoughts folks
I would rather have old money than old people; nothing against old people I just prefer bright shiny objects.
Hmm. I say that there is a high chance this is a counterfeit but need to be examined by an expert in my opinion.
Looks like the obverse of a Silver Dollar and the reverse of a half dollar were it’s no denomination at six o’clock on the reverse. Definitely fake.
Looking again, I was looking at the wrong obverse...this is the off-center Draped Liberty--not the centered version. The reverse actually appears to be proper for this obverse. Change my vote to maybe real.
I think it's fake. It's a pretty good one though. The denticles aren't quite right and the stars seem a little thin. Does it have a reeded edge?
It's a rather faithful reproduction of B-14/BB-51. The fine detail is a little blurry, the stars don't point to the denticles correctly, and it looks to have been struck inside a reeded collar.
