So I'm new to this wonderful yet very addicting hobby #128532;#128526; I have a few silver coins and know a thing or two about Morgan silver dollars. But I ran into this particular coin during one of my outings and I've never seen one like it before in all honesty, and know nothing about this particular coin. I don't even know if it's real or not, what do you think? I'd love to know what a more seasoned collector thinks, ive included some pics along with its weight. thank you for your time.

You just dont run across a coin like this. You have to pay a LOT of money for it. I say fake. And does the edge say UNITED?

It's a replica/copy of the 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar that's sold on many websites for less than $20. The look isn't correct and the weight is off. Check ebay for listings of these and compare your coin to the genuine and replica versions.

To CCF , My vote is fake . Tell us how you ran into it .

Welcome to CCF, but that one is a fake!

Which outing afforded you the opportunity to purchase a 1794 silver dollar? How much did it cost you?

Hair looks like spaghetti - fake

Hope you didn't buy it!

Kind of a nice item if you want fakes. How much did it cost

Other than the spaghetti hair (which in theory could have been from tooling) and the fact that the bust is too far from star 15, it isn't a half bad copy of the 1794 obv. The reverse however is rev J from 1795. Fake.

The rim lettering looks like the work of aliens.

The word UNIT is correct, but that's about it.
