Avoid this coin. Just based on those photos, I can almost assure you it's a fake.

Ya unfortuntely run for the hills, the reeded edge is a dead giveaway, 100% a cointerfeit.

Here's a page with many fake early dollars shown so you can compare. But with the reeded edge it's absolutely fake... If the seller doesn't believe ou have him look up if 1803 dollars have a reeded or lettered edge..

The better pics maybe even pin down the known counterfeit. It may be featured on the page Nathan gave the link to; scroll down to "Coyote." I expect this one made it's way to Australia from Southeast Asia perhaps more than 40 years ago.

I would agree with electrotype because of the grainy surface. Like everyone else said, this can't be the real thing.

Nothing is right about the coin, it's a worthless chunk of metal.

To concur with the others: This *cannot* be a real 1803 dollar.
