PCGS and I believe all the other 1880's morgans and 2 1927 gold Indians checked out too. But now you got me worrying I may have just wasted 100 bucks getting it graded. Wish the guy sending it off at the coin shop would have told me I could have got it graded in person in Chicago in 2 weeks.

Both coin shops first doubted it too Jay, then they went through their processes and made cash offers on the coin. I don't know though again I deal in guns and cues. I don't know how this industry operates but the cash offers make me think that at least they thought it was real.

without even seeing pictures, there is not much anyone can say here imo.
THere would be other things wanted besides pictures, such as weight and dimensions.
And I am not saying it is fake, I just know I would immediately think it a fake if it was thrown in on a gun deal. ie, if I was in your shoes during the trade.
If it is real though, it is worth thousands in any condition. in vf-xf condition? 20K and up

Tydrano, I hope you have an original Seated Liberty dollar. However, my suspicions are that your coin is not genuine. 1852 Seated Liberty dollars are extraordinarily rare.  I hope I'm wrong. Good luck with your grading! I wish you all the best.  Edited by Moe145

I watched this thread because OP is from my home state but never heard back.
I guess the coin was a fake and the coin shop just submitted it on a hail mary. If you have coin questions in central Indiana ALWAYS see the guys at Lost Dutchman.

Where is the list Dutchman? I live in East central Indiana and have been looking for a good coin shop. Tried Silver town but they recently stopped selling coins. And yeah I'm guessing it was fake. If not someone had no idea what they had.

lost dutchman is in Indianapolis. The owner is one of the 2 guys that runs the podcast "Coin Show" on iheartradio. It's a pretty good podcast. I've never been to the store but seen their stock at coin shows and it appears to be decent.

I'm assuming that if we don't hear back from you, the coin came back counterfeit?
Best of luck!

Well considering he was last here a year and a half ago I don't think we will be hearing from him.

it was probably a nutter heavy on the pints when he typed the thread to begin with

I didn't even realize this was a old post that had been bumped, oh well, just another counterfeit bursting someone's bubble.
