The wear on the reverse of this 1799 dollar doesn't look right

Is this typical of how these coins wear?

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

it is but you rarely see coins this low grade but as heritage says most probably a pocket piece that is why it is so smooth clean and not nicked up

 

also see the reverse how weaker it is in the middle? well this is due to a weak strike so because the coin was weakly struck on the reverse and strongly struck on the obverse when the coin worn evenly as a pocket piece due to the weak strike on the reverse it shows more wear

 

also this is mostly likely die state 3 from the photo

 

a good looking coin and a good deal IF if you can get it for close to 100 dollars

Michael, thanks for the info. What do you think the coin is worth? You were joking about the $100.00 I take it?

Oh yea, and do you think NGC would slab it?

[michael]

well for me i think this coin will go for 350 to 450 dollars

if you can get this coin for around 100 dollars you got a steal

 

and i think ngc would slab it easy at the same grade just going by the scan
