This is not the picture of the actual coin you're selling. Here is the link to this same picture. http://www.coinsite.com/content/coinpics/1776ConDol.asp Could you please post a photo of your coin. Thanks.
If this is not a stock photo... But the one your posses certain qualities to called authentic. It's weight, and silver content being the main factors. If it sticks to a magnet it is not real. That is a good way to test it.
Silver not suppose to stick to a magnet. You know you r a very nice lady!! You are very special and I pray God keeps you in his continual grace. I am proud of you. And I hope your bids soar to heights you never seen. But make sure you look before you leap. Coins like this to a collector can bring at least $15,000- $30,000 And If I were you I would do research before I come to a place like this. You might be giving away a million dollars. Google is a great online search engine to assist you in doing research. I also ask you go to www.ha.com and join free and see what coins like this sell for. I can send you a thread of this coin selling in this condition for about $50-60,000 or better. Please do your home work and may god bless you and your dear family always. Great auction.
I just looked on ebay, 2 copies have sold for $2.99 shipping and all in the last week but 1 seller has 1 orig coin listed at $65,000 on a buy it now. Almost everything on ebay is a copy/re-strike save that 1 pricey coin. Interesting auction.I will be watching too.
^^ Whoa! BARBARAG5 Chill out! Do a little research. They did make this coin and there are a lot of copies of it. No need to yell at all of us. Even if it is a fake or copy someone might still want to buy it :)
In 1776, thomas jefferson, george washington, & franklin all carried "spanish reales"--which were in halfs, ones & twos, made of silver!--these were the legal tender of the founding fathers!--this coin is not a real coin.--congress didn't make a coin & the u.s.mint wasn't formed until 1792!---& what is "continential currency" suppose to mean?? i know there were 13 colonies,but "continential" means the continents around the world!--not colonies! & they didn't produce money!!! if there wasn't a u.s. mint, nor u.s. currency made until 1792, then who exactly were the people who "minted" these???--no, silver does not stick to a magnet but, neither does pewter, copper, nickle, zinc etc....all these were used in jewery, watches, dishes, etc.....and in coins!!----this coin is no dought a commerative anniversary coin celebrating the declaration of independence in 1776!!!!--most likely made of a metal mixture!
