Interesting. It does not look real to me. It could be the photo, but it has that cast fake appearance

I thought so too when I saw it, but it weights what a silver dollar should and rings like one too. The only time I've seen that sort of chewed-up surface before is in a large (and I imagine) well-used casino token, which makes me wonder if it was once used for similar purposes.

Sounds plausible to me. Real or not I would probably still keep it.

Don't want to deflate your lowball coin spirits SilverDollar but that coin is AG3. The reverse looks to be a little nicer AG3+. Maybe another year or two in the pocket and it will be there and you'll have a nice lowball on your hands

Cracked it out from a PCGS FR02 holder...I personally thought it was AG but for some reason PCGS thought FR. Got a good deal on it. It's currently in my Dansco Morgan dollar album, which I have almost completed.

I don't dare use it as a pocket piece, as it's too valuable. I lost a 1921 Morgan dollar I was using as a pocket piece once. I found it in the middle of the driveway, scratched and banged up.

A pair of Victorias I picked up today, the first an 1887 halfpenny.

I believe the other to be an 1889 sixpence.
