ONLY $1,525 for this 1799 Silver Dollar

The auction has now closed.

Did the lucky bidder pay only $1,525 for a 1799 Silver Dollar?

Or is there a hidden message in the seller's description of the coin offered? SELLING AS FOUND. BEEN CLEANING OUT A ESTATE AND FOUND THIS ONE. BUY IT FOR WHAT YOU THINK IT IS.

1799 Silver Dollar???

What do you think?

    At the very least it's very whizzed, at the very worst, could it be fake?

    I know a fool and his money are soon parted, but how did they ever get together in the first place?

    I can only hope the buyer got some type of return privilege, but from the wording in the auction I doubt that was offered.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I have one just like it - bought from Europe for $10 US delivered


    a silver round that looks kinda okay


    reeded edge and wrong hairdoe and missing lines in the shield on the reverse give it away for what it is.


    maybe I should sell mine like that.

    Hmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder why it is a private auction????????? Maybe in the past when they tried this someone contacted the poor bidder to warn them????

    RotatedRainbows,

    I think you hit the nail on the head. I "know" someone who contacted the bidders when the coin was last offered for sale.

    Ugh.

    Too bad we can't have a closer look. I'd love to see if the "R" in LIBERTY is broken. Something tells me the picture was shot at arms-length for a reason...

    Correction; it's things like this why I don't ever look to buy a coin on E-bay in the first place.
