DreamFLight911 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Did a search on google. counterfeit coin Carson city didn't do coins until 1870, and the scroll on the reverse is also a dead giveaway REAL seated liberties do not have a motto More info http://coinauctionshelp.com/identify_fake_authentic_seated_silver_dollars.html#.VBufN_ldXQd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Yep, definitely a counterfeit. Not only what DF pointed out, but I'm sure the weight is also wrong because that's not even silver. It's that junk base metal these counterfeits are made out of. That junk metal also shows a grainy texture and is almost always a weak shallow strike because it's rather hard, likely containing nickel or made of steel. Check out our counterfeit section for the guide I tossed together a few years ago... Which I still need to update. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
