Help With Seated Dollar

If you have a photo editing program like Photoshop you can reduce the file size without sacrificing much photo quality.

Here is my 1842 Seated dollar if you want to compare them.

As far as authenticity goes here is a start on some of the questions people will have: 1) where did YOU obtain the coins in question? Did you buy them at a LCS, local coin show or off the internet? 2) is the metal correct and not magnetic? 3). Are the reed counts period correct?

There are some very good Chinese counterfeits out there and you have to be careful no matter where you shop. The internet is still the most dangerous shopping venue in my opinion.

Counterfeiters often have problems with the precise shape of letters and numerals. If your coin's features match those of Joe2007's coin it would be a good indicator of authenticity.
Seated dollars can be authenticated by ANACS at reasonable cost. If it were my coin and I had otherwise convinced myself it was probably real I would pay them for grading and authentication.

There are varying quality of counterfeits, some are quite crude and would only fool an amateur while on the other hand there are very good quality fakes that even fool the experts and are very difficult to catch.

Another thread that might be helpful. The counterfeit shown in the below thread is fairly easy to spot when compared to genuine coins but not all are. Hope this helps.

Noticeably thicker or just apparently slightly thicker? Both coins have the same specifications so the thickness should be the same on both. If the seated in noticeable thicker then the alloy may not be right and they increased the thickness to compensate for short weight.
