NumisMattic2200 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Tell me if this is real or not? 1797 cent!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1797-usa-liberty-one...bayphotohosting I was under the impression these were vanishingly rare, or is this just one of the commoner ones?

Scottishmoney Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 It appears to be real from the photograph, but it has been cleaned, harshly on the obverse of the piece Auction Link - Does This Work? At £64 it might actually be worth a try at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneydog Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I agree with lost dutchman on being in the ground. I do some metel detecting and I have seen coins that has come out of the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumisMattic2200 Posted June 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Sorry I have no idea how to make the URL's work here - they sometimes do, they sometimes don't! I thought it looked a good priced for such a sough after coin, it made me suspicious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 The person selling it misclassified it in the eBay listing, that may have accounted for lower bids. It would have gone higher in the right Large Cent category in eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
