2022 Silver Eagle DDO?

Hi, my 1st thought as well.

I would be wary of jumping to authenticity conclusions about your suspected DDO ASE.

The security notch in 2022 was at 7 o'clock in, moved from 6 o'clock in 2021. They move them every year and if yours is at 6 that would be a red flag.

Overall, the font on Liberty looks too large and too flat. It's distinctly different from the other example, and they should be identical.

There is a lot of fine detail missing on the eagle, particularly on the feet. The DDO ASE has almost completely smooth feet and talons, the head seems smoother than it should be and the grasped stick looks far less rough than I would expect.

The eagles right leg looks striped rather than dimpled by feathers.

Lack of magnetic attraction only works as a diagnostic some of the time. A silver plated copper nickel alloy, for instance, won't attract a magnet either.

Weight should be very precise to specs, as will thickness and diameter.

It's very difficult with great photos to make this kind of determination but I'm skeptical of this one.

I have to agree, that one on the left just looks terrible..

Don't trust the missing reed on edge. Chinese fakes are already doing that. It's a weak security feature, easy to copy. The security features on Maple Leafs and Britannia are much better. Did you try a ping test? Silver eagles and other coins have a specific sound when tapped on the edge. A lot of fakes sound different.

The channel below, Sound Money Metals has videos about ping test, he sells a ping tester. Here is short sample, check out his more in-depth videos.

Logic suggests this is a fake.

Curiosity got to me and I ordered a fake Chinese one from ebay for $1, I want to see how close to the real thing they are. When it arrives (probably 2 months) I might make something like a keychain or belt buckle with it.
