argentum Pillar of the Community United States 1195 Posts	Posted 03/25/2013 6:09 pm Making sure: Does the size match the dollar of the era? If not, then for sure fake. Else (and I'm NOT an expert in Seated Liberty coins) gut reaction says the date is a little off and edge around the denticles is a little too thick, ergo fake. An expert will come along later and refute/confirm my gut reaction Edited by argentum 03/25/2013 6:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

NYEddie1 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/25/2013 9:55 pm That sure? Sounds pretty bad for me. Should I take another picture? Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 03/26/2013 08:01 am After comparing the photo you posted to the ones on the PCGS Photograde, the date is way out of position. I'd have to agree with Condor. A better photo might help. Im no Seated Liberty expert, Just my humble opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

cheezyfryes Valued Member United States 359 Posts	Posted 03/26/2013 5:27 pm I'm also no seated liberty expert, but I remember reading that the date size had some variation over the series. Can't recall if it was specific to the mint of origin or just the year in question. The date doesn't look that far off some I've seen in the series. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 03/26/2013 11:43 pm The coin doesn't look like an obvious fake to me but that doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't. Perhaps a few clear pictures and maybe a close up of the date would help. Report this Post to the Staff
