cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 09:46 am I recently saw this 1798 dollar for sale by a private owner. They say it was inherited and they don't know anything about coins. These are not my pictures. I can arrange to see it in person but don't want to waste a long drive if it is probably a replica. The holder makes me suspicious that it is not authentic - but I'm an amateur. Any opinions would be appreciated. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win".

Would they guarantee it? Say you send it to a grading company(PCGS for example). I would be suspicious. This could be a very valuable coin. We're talking thousands. How far away are we talking here?

I do not believe that combination exists - my research indicates that only one 1798 variety had 15 stars, and it was a Small Eagle design. Pass it by. It's fake. Report this Post to the Staff

cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 03/13/2011 8:02 pm Thanks so much for your responses. It looked suspicious and you've confirmed that. No price - no guarantee - and an hour drive to see it. I'll pass on this one! Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith Report this Post to the Staff
