Currently relisted: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1799-DRAPED...em1ea3d2879d Now states that the coin is "altered" with a seam on the rim. It really should be listed as "counterfeit" albeit from the looks of it an older and well done one. Report this Post to the Staff

EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 09/10/2015 2:43 pm It's just listed in the description, it isn't in the photos. A real coin shouldn't have a seam on the rim. A photo of this would be nice. I'm not even sure what exactly is supposed to be altered. Edited by EFLargeCents 09/10/2015 2:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 09/10/2015 3:13 pm If it's a counterfeit, it's a good one. Weight Tolerance would still fall into place. The reverse looks "soft" like it almost is not a struck Coin. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

Stephen Z Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 09/10/2015 3:27 pm Lots of words about dealer integrity in the description. I'd like to see a photo of the seam. 23 people have bid, even though PCGS says "authenticity unverifiable"! Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 09/10/2015 3:55 pm I like it. Not a 188 or 189 reverse. For $150 or less it could fill that hole nicely! I'm close to convincing myself to let an electrotype sit in that spot in my album..... Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/10/2015 4:26 pm It is quite attractive, and in a holder you don't see very often! Report this Post to the Staff
