Popular Post J P M Posted January 14 Popular Post Share Posted January 14 Nice quiet afternoon doing a bit of roll hunting. Not bad for an 84-year-old coin powermad5000, EagleRJO and The Neophyte Numismatist 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Neophyte Numismatist Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Makes you wonder where it spent its time. A change jar, a Whitman folder? Certainly in a better state of preservation than 99%+ of them out there. powermad5000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandon Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 @Midwest Dozer--Welcome to the NGC chat board. When you have a question about a coin, please post it as a new topic with an appropriate title instead of on someone else's topic. It may receive better attention and will be easier to find by others searching the forum. Your purported 1795 Draped Bust dollar is a counterfeit, as are many such pieces posted here. Compare its details, such as the eagle's feathers, the leaves, and Liberty's hair to the photos of genuine coins of the BB-51 (B-14) and BB-52 (B-15) varieties at Early Dollars (1794-1804) | VarietyPlus® | NGC (ngccoin.com).

powermad5000 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) The eyes and face of the obverse match no known examples as well as some details in the hair. The reverse matches no known example and is incorrect in design. Your dollar coin is a counterfeit. There are more fakes of these coins than there are real ones.
