The only question I have is about the date of the coin. It is damaged too much too see the date, or I'm just blind. The seller has a good reputation, so I don't think they are lying about the date. Can anyone clearly see this date? These are the best pictures I can get. Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 07/27/2022 5:39 pm Would not purchase this as a 1797, I can't see that last digit. There are plenty of better 1797 examples out there, choose another. Don't even mess with a coin of this poor quality. Suffering from bust half fever.

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 07/27/2022 5:50 pm I agree, move on and find another coin. I was looking at the reverse to see if it could be attributed to a 97, but the reverse is heavily worn and scratched. Report this Post to the Staff

TimNH Valued Member United States 416 Posts	Posted 07/27/2022 9:00 pm Almost certainly a 1798 right? That last digit is clearly rounded at the top, either an 8 or 9. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36741 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 09:25 am It looks more like a 1798. Tough coin to sell in the future. Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 09:39 am 1798 was my first thought. Report this Post to the Staff
cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 09:43 am I agree with 1798 before I read any replies. I'd pass on this one. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith Report this Post to the Staff
Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 10:24 am Looks like a last digit of "8"...too indefinite for me to purchase. KK Report this Post to the Staff
solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 07/31/2022 10:17 pm I had to recheck the title of this thread because I saw an 8 and not 7. I also would pass on this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
