Love at first sight, my first 18th c. coin, and by far my most extravagant.

GTG, and admire her beauty.
Even my wife likes her! :smile:

    Very nice eye appeal.
    F12, with perhaps a bump to 15 for the attractiveness.

    I think with the scuff on the face it would net a F12. Beautiful coin nevertheless, and that type coin is on my hope to have list.

    Some good guesses. :smile: I'll reveal the grade soon. In the meantime, here is photograde for comparison:

    1. Congrats on a nice coin.
  • Jzyskowski1Jzyskowski1 Posts: 6,650 ✭✭✭✭✭

    F-12 Really nice coin. Nice start on the box of twenty. Is this in addition to everything else or are you down sizing and focusing on the box?🐈

    🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶

  • ThreeCentSilverFLThreeCentSilverFL Posts: 1,695 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'm thinking 12 - 15 as well. Nice look to it.

  • AvocetAvocet Posts: 270 ✭✭✭✭

    I am jealous-- Guess F12

  • LukeMarshallLukeMarshall Posts: 2,014 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I like the look of that 1799 dollar.

    There looks to be a little more wear in the reverse when compared to the photo grade 12 , so im gonna say G8

    I wanna say GR8 cause that is a great coin!
    Congrats

    It's all about what the people want...

  • shorecollshorecoll Posts: 5,447 ✭✭✭✭✭

    My firt thought was F15, so that works. I think Photograde might be good for highlighting gradeflation. 20 years ago that may have been a VG, but not now.

    Great coin!!!! Couple neat facts about 1799: George Washington dies at 67 near the end of the year.
    And a 12 year old from North Carolina found a big yellow rock in a creek, used it for a doorstop until
    his dad realized it was gold, launching the first gold rush in USA. And this coin was in circulation!!!

  • jesbrokenjesbroken Posts: 10,451 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Great coin, glad you got the F15 grade. Love the color and the coin.

    I didn't 'get' the grade, but I certainly paid for the grade! Ebay buy it now, fairly steep, but looked MUCH nicer than most other examples in most any grade. I love that "dirt-cameo" look. My idea of a DCAM!

    @moursund ... That is a very nice coin.... I could easily tolerate the scrape on the neck for such a nice 1799 coin.... Sure, it affects the 'assigned' grade... also affected the price. And now you have a great coin in your collection. Cheers, RickO

    Yours is beautiful, thanks for the photograde comparison... I posted mine (raw with an old light cleaning) just for fun.
