coins92 Pillar of the Community United States 851 Posts	Posted 05/01/2010 9:52 pm Isn't this the rarest and highest grade of it's series? I emailed the seller and he told me the coin in the picture was the exact one I would receive. He offered a 7 Day return so this kind of surprised me. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...t_500wt_1182 Report this Post to the Staff

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 05/01/2010 10:03 pm Almost certainly a fake. Seller has only 2 feedbacks. Stay clear. I see this sold for $711 and it's listed in Numismedia at $55,000 in MS-61. Somebody either got a steal or (almost certainly) better hope they can get their 700 bucks back.

jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 05/01/2010 10:36 pm These are rare and valuable coins ...... when they are real. The seller just sold his 1795 flowing hair for $49 and must live where they have amazing mail service because he sold on 4/29 at 2:30 and on 4/30 the buyer posted a rave review at 12:30. Coin delivered in less than 24 hours! Eye is wrong, and on the offcenter 1795 Draped bust, the second "s" in "STATES" should have a flat bottom. Someone is going to be upset when that coin arrives.

Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 05/01/2010 11:06 pm If I was the seller and honestly believed that coin to be real, you can be sure I wouldn't complete that transaction over the threat of a mere negative strike on my ebay record. Likely hoping for a hit and run not realizing PayPal will hold the funds on him. Report this Post to the Staff
IBGolden Pillar of the Community Canada 598 Posts	Posted 05/02/2010 02:15 am Here's a 1794... not the same coin, but with the idea along the same line... http://cgi.ebay.com/Replica-1794-Fl...em20b082c772 ... very nice work and reasonably priced. At least it's silver. If you check back far enough in the feedback(), that nasty "replica" word won't necessarily be there messing up the craftsmanship. >>> edit >>> () page 14... thus far. I have no usual witty edit quip to add. The nice coin bit wasn't sarcasm... free shipping for 25 smackarinos(< I made that up, but not the 25 part)... not a bad hole filler, eh?
