BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 3:53 pm Assuming you have a reputable seller with a return privilege then I'm a buyer at 1200 Euros. The asking price is half it's market value in the U.S. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
IsThisAnything Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 12:06 am Late to the party to agree with kbbpll and Keith. Maybe it's my lack of knowledge with this coin, but I would be very suspicious of a deal that good. I'm curious, how can you be sure it's genuine? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 09:44 am Fake? I you could fake a coin that well, why would you take a chunk out of the rim? Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 11:55 am If the OP coin is a counterfeit, please explain as it matches a B1. See photos below of a genuine example that matches the same variety. On obverse note hair curl touches #1 star and date position is the same. On reverse note 9 berries on left and 10 on right, and R touches the wing tip. Frog makes a valid point about the chunk out of the rim as counterfeiters do not typically devalue their work by adding problems. Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5395 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 1:18 pm Absolutely worth buying ( at the right money!! ). Then it needs a trip to get repaired . Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5674 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 2:13 pm Very attractive coin, great candidate for a repair. I don't see anything that would suggest it's not genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 3:36 pm I'm in the genuine camp and think it's a good buy at that asking price. Also, it's a great candidate for the repair shop! If only it had some more damage, like a counterstamp or two, I'd buy it!! My guess is that this dollar was once utilized as a watch fob or jewelry item. The position of the damage suggests that a clasp or other attachment may have later been removed so as to restore its coin status for circulation.

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 5:09 pm That big ole rim ding would do it for me. It would be a no-go. A repaired coin ranks right up there with cleaned coins for my collection...nope! All that said, if the price is right and you want to spend that kind of money on her then that is certainly your choice. However, it should be authenticated first!! I'm not saying anything about it being fake but, those huge dollar coins should always be authenticated. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/18/2023 01:43 am If the chance of buying a known genuine example of a 1795 Dollar in this condition, or even worse, came my way, I would jump at it. Well above of my pay scale to get a better example in significantly higher grade. Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 04/18/2023 09:45 am Making this a hot topic on a hot coin, for me on my budget, $1000 for a in demand coin like this would be a buy it now immediately (appears genuine to my eyes ) because damaged/details coins are one of the only ways some of us collectors can actually afford rare coins. I would be quite happy if this coin resided in my collection... Though I would prefer this one in a major TPG slab myself just to confirm authenticity... Report this Post to the Staff
