Tarnished silver dollar

Here’s a new purchase that I just couldn’t pass on thanks to a good friend. I know it may not appeal to some collectors but this coin is stunning to me. Most have been clean and dipped, not this one.

    I like the black background better. :)

    Gorgeous coin... Most of the one’s I’ve seen are all messed with and crappy.

    That has the circam look, but still well preserved. Amazing how a coin from 226 years ago can be so well preserved. Cheers, RickO

    Nice VF35. Trueviews look old as heck or something.

    Thanks for the comments
    I was very lucky to purchase her. I had a hard time finding the date. Picked one up about 5 years ago that was a sweet piece. But this one takes the cake. I just love the small eagle reverse.

    Leave it alone. Removing the tarnish would take away a lot of the value.

    That 1795 off-center Draped Bust Dollar has been on my want list for years. That coin marked the introduction of the Draped Bust design which is one of my favorites. I have never been able to hook up with the right one. I do have the centered bust variety.
