    The owners of my store have 36 years of knowledge in the numismatic field. They believe the coin to be genuine.

    I think it is genuine, but not something that I would want in my collection.

    I think it might be worth $1000 at auction, unless it is an extremely rare variety or type.

    I'm looking forward to reading the experts as they chime in - but it is a very cool piece of history, if real (and I hope it is).

    Well, I'm no expert, but that hasn't stopped others. image

    Looks like a Wass Molitor small head variety (not rare).

    Prices range from $2800 (Genuine) to $4600 (F12-15) at Heritage.

    Looks a little chewed up around the rims. I don't see any with a similar cud at 5 o'clock at HA.

    What did you pay?? I'd guess the value as $2000 or so, if genuine.

    i would buy risks like that at spot any day of the week!
    heck.. i would even go spot + 100 without even thinking.

    this has the potential to be a very nice purchase.

    i am not sure if that is even a cud or a really nice dent with a flattened look to it.
    too bad the pics are cropped to tight and we cannot see the whole coin's rims.

    I'll put more photos of the coin up tomorrow.

    I'm no expert either, but as someone said it's not rare, I'd add that it is not common either. At the right price it could be a great pickup; I like it.image

    I think that's very low... IMO baseline $2500, likely $3250.
