Dash1963 New Member France 4 Posts	Posted Today 7H 37M ago Hello DB dollar experts, I have just bought this 1798 DB large eagle dollar as part of a lot. I know nothing about early dollars, but it appears genuine. What I always do if I happen to get an early US coin and want to help identify it is to check out the variety on PCGS and NGC, but I cannot find this particular die marriage. The closest thing to what I have found is the PCGS Photograde G06 example (which happens to be a 1798, and matches mine closely) but I cannot find that in the list of varieties either. Any info or insights would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7721 Posts	Posted Today 4H 13M ago That date looks awfully "funny" compared to the rest of the coin. I think it has repaired damage or is an outright counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 78097 Posts	Posted Today 2H 22M ago Definitely not real. It's a counterfeit. Look at the size of the date. It's not correct. Just compare it to a real one on NGC. I hope you didn't pay much for it. https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explor...-eagle-1-ms/ Errers and Varietys.

Dash1963 New Member France 4 Posts	Posted Today 1H 22M ago Thanks for the replies - it is the correct weight, size, edge lettering, & it 'rings' true for a silver dollar - BUT, I haven't any experience with early dollars... having researched it on PCGS & NGC (until my eyes almost fell out & my head was about to explode), apart from the die marriage, I have to say that everything checks out... although I do see what westensky means about the date being 'funny' by comparison to the rest of the coin...

adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 945 Posts	Posted Today 1H 3M ago How about posting some shots of the edge lettering. I did take a look at the dates on the major varities listed by PCGS and I didn't see anything close to this. Report this Post to the Staff
