[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 55029, member: 669"]Welcome to the forum hulkster.If its genuine - and be aware that there are far more fakes than real ones out there - depending on grade/condition it could be worth quite a bit. There are two main vaireties of the 1785 Constellatio, known as the "blunt ray" and "pointed ray" types. If you can post a picture of both sides, there may be someone who can help attribute and evaluate it. Technically it can be argued both ways as to whether they are "coins". They were privately sturck in Englad, and shipped to New aYork where they entered circulation without any approval by the Confederation or any of the state governments. Since the legends are apparently fully readable, unless it is damaged it should grade at least Very Good, which would make it worth close to $100, and an uncirculated genuine 1785 would be worth at least $2500. :)[/QUOTE]
