The reverse sure looks funny, the details are very soft... Certainly not a proof coin.

The eagles neck is to short and the head doesn't look right. I'm going with fake.

It goes up then back down in the middle of the neck not near the rear.. The stars above this vulture are touching. they should have a separation between them I'll also go FAKE Edited by Dearborn

Definitely counterfeit. There's not much right about it.

Thank you all. I have a silly question, can its authenticity be fake and the silver be real? I hope you all understand what I mean

Yes, it can be a fake and still be silver, but yours almost certainly isn't. Fakes are usually only made of silver if they have a high enough collector value to be worth making them from real silver. Even if yours was real, it wouldn't have any more Collecter value than it's melt value.

Counterfeit!
Hopefully you didn't pay anything for that.

No. It was gave to me to have checked out. How do I know for certain if it is real silver or not. A magnet won't stick to it I know that.

It's not real silver.

You could take it to a local coin store who may have an analyzer to verify it's fake. On YouTube there are videos about ways to check for fake silver, one by Silver Seeker that could help you. On YouTube type in the search engine something like.... identifying fake counterfeit silver.

Different metals and alloys have different weights.
So when the fakers made the diameter correct on your coin, the thickness would have to be different than a real one so it would match the weight of a legit silver coin of same size.
Also - do yourself a favor and, with this one in hand, look at online pictures of closeups of verified ones. You should be able to very easily tell, after that, from looking at the tiny details of how very off in design your coin is.
