jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 10/17/2016 1:42 pm I've developed a liking for browsing ebay and buying whatever I think looks interesting. Even if I know nothing about it. This is one of those purchases. The listing didn't give much detail. Heck, it could be fake for all I know. Anyway, any info would be appreciated. Date, grade, estimate on retail (I paid $30 shipped so I guess that is the retail of this piece). Thanks for looking! Report this Post to the Staff

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2892 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 01:25 am That's right. 1805/06. On ebay these normally go for $25-$40. It's a tad off centre but there is a clear date.

Numister Pillar of the Community Singapore 631 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 03:29 am Nice coin, love the script. Recently bought something similar too. I think counterfeiter's are faking these type of coins to take advantage of collector's ignorance regarding this obscure area of coins. And most people won't make too much fuss when they fork out $20-$40 for a dubious coin as opposed to a $200-$400 coin. What do you guys think ? Report this Post to the Staff
jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 5:31 pm So, do y'all think it's genuine? Report this Post to the Staff
