Thanks! Yes the reverse is quite worn, but I felt the obverse had enough "meat" left. Appreciate the variety attribution as well.


Oh I wouldn't underestimate the reverse. All things being equal imagine the places this coin has been and the people that have owned it? 16 years before it was minted a new nation was born when its Independence was recognized.

The symbols on the rev of that coin were just being designed and 249 years later they still hold true. The Eagle, the feathers, the arrows, the stars "of which there are 13 for a reason on the obv", the coin has great and lasting character. I'd love to have this coin. Congrats.

Lovely old dollar - there's something magic about an American coin dated 17xx!
