troutshooter New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 08/30/2023 6:33 pm another huge surprise! hoping that this coin is legit, as it was mixed in with some other pre 1933 gold coins, all in the raw in paper stapled flips-these looked to have not been opened or looked at for decades again, I am looking to get this graded but would love some input the collection I am working through is quite extensive, and he was quite a collector of many things Report this Post to the Staff

pristine2 Pillar of the Community United States 1048 Posts	Posted 08/30/2023 6:57 pm I'm afraid it looks quite fake to me. Devices are different from any example I've ever seen. It may well be gold, but I don't think this is real. Here's the PCGS example for the date: https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...obverse/8562 Edited by pristine2 08/30/2023 7:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 08/30/2023 10:40 pm The rim is wrong on the coin. The coin was struck in a ring. In 1799 the mint did not have rings. Note the rim is higher than denticles and there is a separation between rim and denticles. As noted above, the example is a fake. Report this Post to the Staff
