<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 4192650, member: 27832&quot;]This appeared (briefly) in the new BIN listings this afternoon:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Five-Dollar-1805-Coin-As-Mens-Watch-Fob-/372970107991" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Five-Dollar-1805-Coin-As-Mens-Watch-Fob-/372970107991" rel="nofollow">Five Dollar 1805 Coin As Mens Watch Fob</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A turban-head half eagle (I think it&#039;s actually 1803/2?), with a loop soldered on, and engraved as a love token on the reverse. In the time I took to run off and see whether there was any possibility it was genuine, someone else snatched it -- for $475.</p><p><br /></p><p>Based on my somewhat limited experience with holed and engraved rarities, I&#039;m thinking this one (if genuine) was still <i>easily</i> a four-figure coin. And about the only sort of turban-head gold I&#039;m every likely to take a shot at.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
