<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 998100, member: 11521&quot;]I have examined that coin in hand. It is a nice coin but it is not perfect. I remember seeing adjustment marks that were somewhat distracting. The reason that coin brought BIG BIG money is the seller did his homework and &quot;proved&quot; that no other surviving examples were struck earlier from the same dies. In other words, his claim was that his coin was struck before any other surviving examples and it &quot;must be&quot; the &quot;first&quot; Silver Dollar struck by the US Mint. Who knows if his claim is true. Somebody believed it enough to pay BIG TIME to own the &quot;first Silver Dollar struck by the US Mint&quot;. I doubt condition was the determining factor in the selling price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
