I usually don't do these GTG posts, but I thought I would today.

This is not a give a way
-------Important Note-------------

I found this 1795 dollar recently at a show in Northern California
It caught my eye as something that would fit perfectly into my
Library of Coins type album. I decided to go for it, and have been
pleased with that decision ever since.

Take a look, give me a guess at your grade, and whether/if it had been slabbed by a TPG

Please don't cheat an look to see if I posted information that would answer the above questions, I probably did, but where's the fun in that?

    If it hasn't been tooled/re-ingraved (some of the stars look slightly suspicious along with the reverse wreath) I like it at FN18 (almost VF!).

    after reading braddick's post and looking at it again, I see what he means. There are some very pronounced features on that coin that doesn't match the overall wear. Still a nice coin though.

    I agree with the "if not tooled, etc" and I would say F15
    I like it!

    Nice looking coin! I'd say F15 (but I admit I'm not familiar with the fine points of this short series).

    I would grade the coin F-15, but regardless of grade, that's just a superb coin. I hope to own one someday, and I can only hope the one I find is as attractive...Mike

    Looks like most people got this one pretty much on the button.

    It was given a F15 by PCGS.
    As far as my feeble eyes can tell, I see no hint of tooling or such on either obverse or reverse. I'm not sure if the scan perhaps
    left artifacts that make it look goofed with, if someone wants to point out what they thought was tooling, I'd be interested.
    This coin to me is interesting in that the main devices seem to have a tremendous amount of meat on them almost as though
    the coins of this series were made in a high relief style.

    Thanks for participating.
