IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36906 Posts	Posted 02/21/2018 10:41 am Counterfeit. Mushy details, raised bump on the 1 on reverse and field below the 1. Looks like a Lebanese cast counterfeit from the 1960's-70's. Edited by IndianGoldEagle 02/21/2018 10:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 02/21/2018 1:52 pm A real 1887 gold dollar will not have so many raised bumps on the surface. Edited by SilverDollar2017 02/21/2018 4:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
paxbrit Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 02/21/2018 3:50 pm Take it back to the vendor you bought it from, it's a fake. Genuine US coins have far more detail. You've been had. Report this Post to the Staff

Debrajc Pillar of the Community United States 4211 Posts	Posted 02/21/2018 6:01 pm Sorry but I agree with the others. Hopefully you can get a refund. Report this Post to the Staff
BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4601 Posts	Posted 02/21/2018 6:57 pm At least if it's one of those 60s/70s fakes it was made from real gold - usually 14kt ish. Sometimes 18kt ish. So it has some melt value. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
