Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/25/2018 3:48 pm I recently was fortunate to acquire an honest to goodness REAL Seated Liberty dollar. MikeF is tickled pink that I can now replace the fake one in my 7070. Here they are side by side. this may be a good time to learn some signs to look for in a fake, hmmm? of course, the most obvious to note on the fake one(1864) is the font of the date is just all wrong, size, placement. then I noticed the denticles were off as wer some of the stars. When comparing color, the pix shows real close to in hand, the dull grey of a cast metal passed off as patina. Oddly, the rims were a bit wider on the faker, the reeding was a match...hmmm, as was the diameter. Then I decided to compare the reverses and flipped them over... ....'nuff said! Guess this is a 180 degree rotated reverse... Edited by Crazyb0 07/25/2018 8:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
