I'd want it in hand to be sure but I'm thinking no.

After further review, I definitely think no. The final "9" is too high very close to the bust, closer than on either of the 1799 obverses.

Typo? They had to mean 1799, right? I'm interested to hear what NGC had to say about the coin!

I don't know, with the faith I have in NGC I could believe 1779.  |

After calling them it was just a typo and they changed the listing to 1799. Its been updated as scheduled for grading, but since I earmarked it for variety plus I imagine it will take far longer than the current 12 day early bird submission turnaround time currently is.

Wait, if I'm reading this right, you paid 15 cents for it?

Yes, I paid 15 cents for it (i pulled it out of a dealers foreign junk box). It still hasn't gone through the grading room yet though but hopefully NGC will grade and attribute it it by the end of the week. Regardless of whether its a 99/8, a 99, or a 98 I can't imagine it would grade at anything but a Poor details given that its pitted from corrosion and has no detail at all on the reverse

This is like one of those stories were someone finds a copy of the Declaration of Independence in a pile of magazines at a garage sale.
Want to double your money? I'll give you 30 cents, but only before the authenticity is determined ;-) After that I'll only offer 25 cents if it's 1798 and could go as high as 60 cents (quadruple your investment!) if it is 1799.

Im 100% sure its authentic, but I'm not sure at all what the date will end up being. If it ends up a 98 then it will likely be a wash once the grading fees are factored in I feel its worth it for a the chance at the 99 or 99/8
