philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 10:46 pm Welcome! Many Trade dollar fakes are hard to spot. This is not one of them. Crude copy. Did this come from the same place as your 1799 dollar? Edited by philadelphian 06/03/2013 10:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 10:56 pm Sorry for the bad news but I have to agree with the others. This is a rather crude copy and likely does not have any silver content. Report this Post to the Staff
aaronlek New Member Malaysia 7 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 11:05 pm Ok.. noted. I am not sure, so have to ask the experts here. Is it because that it is dirty? Shld I clean them? if yes, how? Please advise. Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 06/04/2013 06:37 am In this case dirt doesn't matter; it is a counterfeit coin. A copy. Regarding cleaning of coins in general, if there is organic matter you can safely soak the coin in acetone (may need to change the fluid a few times), but do not scrub, rub, or otherwise abrade the coin.

Is it because they are dirty the experts can spot the fake coin? should you clean them to make them look genuine? If I may ask, what would the point of cleaning them be? You wont plan on trying to sell these to someone will you? Report this Post to the Staff
