Bdlc Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 08/30/2025 11:33 am I've seen this coin listed for sale for awhile and it's in a PCI holder saying 1785 clipped planchet, which would be an extremely rare coin but it doesn't match what I've seen. I know PCI isn't legit, but would they actually let a dealer tell them to put 1785 on a coin that isn't? Can anyone actually identify what it actually is? I'm no expert. Thanks.

Oldgrouchyguy Pillar of the Community United States 630 Posts	Posted 09/04/2025 3:09 pm Bdic: fwiw: the 1785 Bust Left is a Mailed Bust, and again looks totally different. If you can, find-out what variety it is; some '87 DBL's looking worse than that but extra-rare (1-3 known) bring abt 10x their weight in Gold when offered Edited by Oldgrouchyguy 09/04/2025 3:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 09/04/2025 5:23 pm Looks to be a 33.17-gg.2 Which is a rarity 5 variety, so not too uncommon. Report this Post to the Staff
Bdlc Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 09/04/2025 6:12 pm Thanks @lcutler, it does seem to match that variety. There's a couple really nice examples for sale on ebay so this one would be worth much less than those. Report this Post to the Staff
