1797 Silver Dollar - 10/6 Stars - Advice?

Using an old electronic postal scale that measures in whole grams, the weight comes in at 26 grams which I would take as a close approximation. The actual exact weight could be a fraction either way.

Condor101, Thanks for your identification of it as a "B-3 variety" I've looked up 'B-3 Variety', which I understand is short for 'Bolender 3', and, as I understand it, that means: "Only six stars at right facing bust (the only use of this obverse). Large letters in legend; 8 berries in left branch."

I want to thank all of you again for your input. I do think I'm going to put this up for auction on ebay at the end of the month. The more I understand about this coin, the better I'll be able to present it, and the better I'll do in the final sale.

If you have it TPG, I would save money and have ANACS grade the coin. PCGS & NGC are too expensive...
Whoever did the hole patch, did a poor job.
About 15 years ago I had purchased a 1795 Dollar in EF condition with a large hole that removed most of the letter "E" in LIBERTY.. I sent the coin to a expert in hole repair, with a note requesting the cost to "fix" my coin...
For that type of repair it would cost $450.00 ~ & I agreed to have the work done..
When I received the Dollar back I needed my 10x triplet to see the repair (his work was that good) and my guess is some here on this forum may know him.

The only drawback was my once EF Dollar would grade no higher then Very Fine, as to help hide his work, he would add what looked like bag marks over both sides of the coin.

I ended up sending it to ANACS with the notation of it being repaired..

ANACS graded it VF (as expected) and repaired...
I ended up selling it for $1,200 in my pre-2006 ebay Store.
I will follow this thread to see if any member knows the coin repair expert that worked on my coin.
Hint; I could have saved $50.00 if no letter was missing...

DavidS, we advise against buying issues like this one raw, outside a slab. There is really no way to prove authenticity via electronic means like images - I'm "comfortable" that your coin is authentic but I can't state it as a certainty without ever holding the coin in my own hand.

So, you will be playing at a disadvantage by offering it raw. Many potential buyers will walk on by, as these are too frequently counterfeited.

ANACS is good too, not sure why I didn't mention it in my first post, I submit more coins to ANACS than the others combined, but then again I don't submit all that many coins any more.
