    Here's the link.


    I don't know if it's genuine or not, actually, judging from the pictures. It'd have to be examined in hand.

    give it a pretty good effort and the date looks off to me but after looking at MS examples I'm having a difficult time faulting the coin

    so I'll give it a medium risk

    someone can just report it and have the ebay group look it over. usually when i do that i just state, "someone needs to look this item over"

    Comparing it to other pictures, it looks authentic, but I am not an expert on these. Cheers, RickO

    But we had silver pocket money then and $75 would be $1500 today.

    No, it was in the mid '70s and all the silver was pretty much out of circulation by then. The Bust Dollars I have to pay $10K now were about $1,500 back then.

    Maybe I should hold onto my coins Bill for 30+ years huh?

    I guess it's more like 40 years. That is a while though, half a mans life time. give or take.

    Nothing really "jumps out" and says I'm a bogus 13 star dollar...beat up from being in the Outback, yes.

    One of my friends from the coin club was working on a date and major variety set of bust dollars back in the late 80's...at a typical medium sized show, he
    found a lot more decent bust dollars and at lower prices than I was finding early walkers in AU.....they seemed plentiful 'way' back then!

    Among all of the early silver coins from the 1794 to 1803 era, in general, the early dollars are the most common pieces. The reason was that the mintages were high for the time, and the dollar saw less time in circulation. After the coinage of dollars in ended circa 1803, the half dollar took their place, and that denomination became the most common. Yes, the 1794 dollar is tough, but the rest of the dates are not that rare.

    Well...still... in the 70's silver was a lot cheaper. That's one of my big conundrums. I have traded rare coins for bullion that has eclipsed the coins by several times, yet seeing NEW prices for the coins at higher than my cost still brings a strange emotion. PRAGMATICALLY, it made sense to swap. EMOTIONALLY.... well, different story.

    I'm often tempted to swap back into rare coins (I still have some) but at my age, the liquidity of the bullion just makes me more content.
