I do not own the coin so the pictures are all I can give you.

It appears to be genuine with some problems. Shield is scratched, gouge in right obverse field and cleaned with secondary toning. Close to XF details though so it's still worth a decent chunk of money.

Despite pictures, I would rather prefer to see this coin in hand if I was considering to buy it. Even then, I would still seek a professional opinion.

The stakes are too high.

Thank God it isn't in a slab; that makes it easier to assess. Slabs best used for eBaying, to help with grading and authenticity, but that could depend on the TPG'er.

Have you tried determining which Overton variety it might be? http://maibockaddict.com/1807-drape...ollars.shtml

No expert here, but it sure has a nice look to it in these pics. Bet one of our BH nuts will solve this one in no time.

It looks like it may be an O-105. Hard to really assess it with the angled pics, but does look authentic, though damaged.

It has good eye appeal ...

But I do feel in hand examination would be best, to determine if authentic.

Given the seller's 100% feedback and numerous coin listings, I'd venture to say that the coin is genuine. It looks good to my eye, but like many of the seller's other coins, there are condition issues.

XF details, rim ding, old cleaning with natural toning, and possibly has been tooled. Don't know.

How much would a coin like this be worth?
