There are two bid retractions on the "1795", both of them at the $11,000 level.
It is amazing that people have that kind of money to toss away.
I will admit I've been taken in by a fake U.S. coin or two, but those were good fakes and no where near this amount of money.

I asked him for info on the coin shop that told him it is real. You think he will reply? What an obvious fake.

That is one God-awful looking coin. How does ebay not deal with these types of people?

Has anyone looked up the NGC certification numbers he listed for them? He has listed legitimate certificate numbers for a MS 1795 and AU 58 dollar. Of course they don't look anything like the junk he is selling.

HMMMM. The counterfeit 1795 sold for $1,311.00 and the counterfeit 1798 sold for $449.00. Both purchased by the same bidder. Either the buyer is out nearly $2,000 or he has no intention of paying.

Laughable... workmanship, that is.
It wouldn't surprise me if the winning bidder and seller were one and the same.

First link--I notice that "sold" for US $1,311.00 That has to be one of the least convincing early dollars I've seen.  Buyer beware!  It's the kind of quality you would see in Chinatown curio shops--back in the day when they sold such things. Usually they would take your $1 for such a "dollar".
