Even with this close encounter of the "BLURRY" kind, I can still state that this coin is "POSITIVELY FAKE".......no such thing as an off-centered 1797 dollar

I was looking at that earlier. I can't believe so many people are bidding on it.

It's at 8 bids right now. I would like to believe the people bidding know it's a fake, and are interested just because of that. It's not up to very much ($62.69) with 14 hours left.

Interesting turn of phrase. If says, "It's real," he's willingly deceiving, and the wronged buyer gets his money back. If he says, "It's not real," or even, "I don't think it's real," I believe the listing would violate ebay policy, and be pulled as a counterfeit.

g048406 was able to spot the clue that gives this fake away, even with this pic, and deserves some kudos!

Almost to $200.00 and only a few hours left now. Unbelievable that ebay has not pulled this ad. Agreed on the fake blury photo, go to his feedback as a seller and look at some of the past items he sold, all photos are very clear. Including some other numismatic material. No returns on it as well I see, but then again he never seems to offers returns on any items.

Unbelievable! (I hope I spelled that right). After looking at it again,it looks like 8 stars on the left and 7 stars on the right.
