Adiw New Member Israel 16 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 4:06 pm Please check this coin I got a week ago, not sure if it's real as the 1878 Philadelphia should be a proof only and this doesn't seems to be one. Edited by Adiw 10/05/2019 4:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 4:19 pm Is the weight right? Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker55 Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 4:20 pm First of all, does it have the correct weight? Here are a variety of tests to see if it's real silver. http://www.silvercoins.com/fake-sil...ounterfeits/ Report this Post to the Staff
Adiw New Member Israel 16 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 4:27 pm Yes, it holds the correct weight and I've paid $150 for it Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 53708 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 5:08 pm Circulated proof-only Trade dollars 1878-1883 are not uncommon, but this is an unbelievable steal if it's genuine. But I know nothing of these. Edited by Coinfrog 10/05/2019 7:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8096 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 5:23 pm I have serious doubts on the genuineness. The rims and denticles are off.

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 5758 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 6:06 pm Does not look "right". Highly suspicious of this coin. Pretty sure it is counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Bedrock of the Community United States 17900 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 6:59 pm Plain old fake. Bad fake. Really bad fake. Report this Post to the Staff
silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3277 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 7:40 pm at least it doesn't have the cc mint mark.. Report this Post to the Staff
Jayyk31 Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 7:44 pm Has that fakey-fake China look. Does it stick to a magnet? I've read there are some lightly circulated (AU) examples out there but I doubt any this worn. The rim is a dead giveaway tho. Gotta be careful with Trade dollars buying them raw.

thq Pillar of the Community United States 2175 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 7:52 pm The toning looks typical of a counterfeit. The figures look like casting, without the sharpness of a die strike. Look at the stars, which resemble holiday cookies. But the really hideous part is the eagle's peg leg. This bears no resemblance to the real coins shown on the PCGS site.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17164 Posts	Posted 10/07/2019 08:15 am The real tip off are the raised lumps by the point of the 1 and in the field right of the date. Those would not be there on a proof. Gary Schmidt Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 10/07/2019 12:33 pm Counterfeits are often made from silver and can be the correct weight. You need to try and get your money back. The coin is not a circulated proof as noted the denticles are wrong and the coin has cast bumps that are typical for counterfeits. Report this Post to the Staff
