Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6269 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 7:37 pm Actually looks possibly authentic to me. Detail is maybe Fine-12. The narrow rims with wire-like raised edges are common counterfeit indicators. The lettering, date, and devices however look much better than you see on the typical modern fake. Perhaps the suspicious rims and obliterated Liberty are damage caused by a brutal mounting in a bezel. I'd measure the weight and confirm the coin is not attracted to a magnet. If it checks out it might be worth a submission to ANACS. A damaged but authentic 1799 dollar will still have decent value. Is there a background story for this coin? Report this Post to the Staff
burfle23 Valued Member United States 496 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 8:48 pm Total Chinese fake; I wrote a Coin Week article on this "family" of fakes. Latest version removed from ebay today- see anything common on the reverse? Edited by burfle23 09/15/2023 8:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 10975 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 9:22 pm My thought is OP's coin is fake. My reason is that the stars in the obverse on the right hand side are punched too close to the rim. The stars touch the rim even when not elongated.
