100-200

Thanks I was guessing maybe 200.00....got it at an antique store for 50.00

Holed coins are hard to judge value as it's a limited market. If it hadn't been holed, it's about a $1000 coin in XF40 condition.

Congrats on your find and great deal! I have been looking for one of those for years for my type set and have yet to find an attractive one for a good price.

I believe that it is worth $150-200. However, make sure it is genuine because there are many fakes of this type, some better than others. I am in no way implying that your coin is fake, but I would always err on the side of caution. However, I strongly doubt that your coin is fake.

IMO Actually it would cost [at a coin dealer ] it would cost in XF 40 Non graded around $600-$700 now in AU 50 $1,000 sounds about right.

Are you looking to sell

And make around $25-$30 if so pm me. I'm not trying to offend you but sight unseen that's the best I could do . I tend to be fond of certain holed coins. Davers
[ on top of the $50 you said you paid of course]

About $800 if undamaged in XF.

Figure roughly 15% of that = $125 max value, IMO.

Thanks for all the info I really appreciate it, and sorry but I am not looking to sell.It is the only seated dollar I own and even with the hole it is a beauty to me. Keep your eyes peeled, this one is proof that you can get lucky once in a while.I went to a coin show recently and could not touch a seated in good condition for under $300.00....thanks for the offer though.I have only been collecting a few years but so far have never been able to part with any of my collection.

Lost all my account info and login on TNet.... had to redo it and it would not let me use recentlycured again

It looks like a fake to me. Is the coin real? It looks like a cast copy and also appears to have too much edge outside the denticles. Weigh it and deduct a very small amount for the hole and see if it's standard weight. You could also place it on the tip of your finger and hit it with a pen or pencil and see if it rings. It may not ring as well with the hole, but it should still ring.

The bottom of the rim may look large because the picture was taken on an angle.... will weight it when I get home tonight and post the results

 

[doninbrewster]

It could be worth more to a counterfeit collector than if it's real. The entire rim looks too large all the way around.

 

[Spaceport]

You never know but I don't believe to be fake but will post the weight

 

[cudamark]

Looks to me that it's mounted in a 2X2. If so, the "extra" rim you see is just the air gap around the coin.

 

[jerseyben]

Not sure what looks "fake" about this coin... I have never seen a counterfeit with toning like that before.

 

[Spaceport]

I really don't think it is but everyone is entitled to their opinion.... will have pics of it on the scale in a few hours... I will take better pictures of it too,square to the camera and not angled.

 

[Spaceport]

The rim does not look the least bit too wide to me at all
