I could be wrong, but I think I see -- besides the missing "LIBERTY" -- some saw-blade denticles on the obverse, too.

That would make it a CF-S$1-1799-0001:

I believe the word, "LIBERTY", should be spelled out on the obverse.


They ran out of room after cramming that many stars onto it.

Maybe someone ran it up with no intention of paying?

In any case, it's not pure silver. That would have been a turn off even for any coin that wasn't obviously fake.

We'll never know how much money is changing hands. No doubt some are shills and others are sacrificial accounts.

Do you actually think a legitimate buyer purchased this?

I'd like to believe it was won by a disposable account and no money changed pockets.

The listing says, "This listing was ended by the seller because the item was sold." I don't believe the seller would end his listing early to sell his coin to a shill(himself)
