If you found one in that condition,it would be 20-30 times that amount.

Schmale-
If you bought one for a couple of hundred dollars, it would not be genuine.
A certified 1795 Dollar in that condition would cost at least $2000.00, maybe more.
And notice I said certified, anything that is not is probably counterfeit.

Schmaltz,  to the funny farm! Be VERY cautious, check here FIRST when considering old silver coins. Any coin like this date, if in this "condition" as a rarity will be expensive Theodore ripe to counterfeit. That's the name of the game. Very seldom do you score cherrypicking these. |

Are you guys are saying that coins of this vintage are always graded? I do find quite rare things from time to time. I guess because it's a coin it may be different.

We are not saying they are all graded, what we are saying is unless you are experienced
enough to determine if it is genuine, then to be safe buy a graded coin.
There are probably as many counterfeits as genuine of this coin out there.
It is not something you are going to find at a flea market.

If it were real, it would be a $4,500 coin in that grade.

You said you're a silver collector schmale..... So am I. I look for flatware as much as I look for coins. The flatware is much cheaper, often much rarer, and so far as I know never counterfeited. Here's a San Francisco-made Vanderslice coffee spoon with a gold wash on the bowl.  Unlike coins, I use this to stir my coffee and wash it in the sink afterwards without worrying about how it might affect the grade. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

52Raymo, there were times when I was able to buy nice sterling spoons for less than melt, but antique dealers have gotten smarter. Gold spoons are a whole other story. Everyone knows what they have, they're low gold purity, and they sell for WAY above melt.

If you know of a coin shop selling mass amounts of counterfeit coins/merchandise...they need to be reported to the police.
So many violations...
