This is really one of those coins at which you can only see the date at a certain angle when playing with a flashlight in hand, if the date is even there.
Rest in Peace

Doesn't even look like a head of 93 to me, but it is very hard to tell.

I'm not even looking at the date area, I'm trying to determine the position of TY with respect to the head. That would be definitive as to whether or not it is a 93.

I'll report this on the counterfeit forum as being misidentified. Given the pics, the seller cannot claim it to be a 1793. Here's the ebay coin with added contrast.

It doesn't help.

For future use, where is that counterfeit forum? I can't find it in the directory.

Actually with the added contrast I believe I can make out the Y, and from that I can say it is NOT a 1793.

How do you opt in? I encounter fakes fairly often looking for good deals on key date coins and reporting them on CCF seems much more effective than reporting them to ebay.

1796-
To opt in, you have to get in touch with bobbie.
If you do get on, make sure you read the instructions on posting
counterfeits. It is important that the proper format be followed
in order to get them removed.

I reported this coin on the counterfeit as unidentifiable given the pictures. Bobby's handler deemed otherwise. The coin sold for $162 on 9/26/18.

Just go in the "Coin Community Support Forum"
and make a request you would like to opt in to the counterfeit forums.
