Value for this coin please??
Could it be almost $900??

Yes, in the current market, which is strong for early dollars, a solid, unimpaired, nice looking fine 1803 dollar could bring at least $ 900, probably more.

Mihai,

It's very difficult to offer a better valuation on a coin without a much better description or even a nice image. According to greysheet, the bid/ask spread for a F12 coin is 775/850. But, the spread is actually greater depending on a ranger of factors:

1. Slabbed by one of the big three?
2. Is it thoroughly original?
3. Is it generally problem-free?
4. Is it a better variety?

Off the cuff, however, I would say that $900 is in the ballpark...

I would like to add that the price ranges that are being discussed are for coins that are not counterfeit. I hope yours is genuine.

Here are the pictures of that coin... I think it's counterfiet.

Mihai also emailed me images of the piece and I told him that it was a counterfeit from what I could see. It also appeared to be corroded or meant to look corroded.

He also emailed images to me! I guess if you email them to everyone on the forum, you don't need to know how to post them into a thread.

I told him that he should not make payment. Comments?
