It has one side like this: Image: 9842_1.jpg 17.26 KB and one like this: Image: a06e_1.jpg 19.07 KB 4. It was a really really good deal from a guy selling coins out of the back of his pickup truck to make money for gas and for his Mom's new prosthetic leg. 5. The weight is wrong.

kcpresson New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/22/2007 12:49 am Thank you and I will post a picture or try to. I cannot get a good pic with my camera, any ideas? On the front is 13 stars and lady liberty sitting, on the back the only words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the eagle, CC under the eagle,and the words ONE DOL. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 05/22/2007 01:43 am Hello Kcpresson, Your coin is a fake for sure. The CC mintmark is a dead giveaway. It stands for Carson City which was a real mint that did manufacture Seated Liberty dollars. However, that mint didn't open for business until 1870. Genuine 1840 dollars were only made at the Philadelphia mint. A real coin would have a reverse similar to the one you posted, without the CC. By the way, welcome to the forum!
