This was in a customer deposit today. I wasn't quite sure at first if it was real, but I compared it to my own 2013 ASE's when I got home from work, and it seems to be ok. Its weight is 31.56g (my two 2013's, which were both purchased from the a LCS, are 31.28 and 31.36g respectively). It also sounds the same as my ASEs when I drop it on a hard surface. What do ya think? All pics are of the same coin.     |

Why did you question the authenticity of the coin? Something bother you about the ASE? |

Wait, so you swapped this out of a customer deposit for a $1? That is a pretty sweet deal if that's what happened. The interesting thing is that it has been in circulation. Surprised someone took it as 'real' money.

Something bother you about the ASE There was nothing in particular that caused me to question it, however I also have read about all the fakes of these things floating around, so I was just wondering if there was anything I should be looking for with it. The four ASE's that I already had were all purchased at the same coin shop, which is very reputable in this area, and I'm a relative novice when it comes to silver eagles. Quote:

If it is too good to be true, it really IS too good to be true.
I understand why you questioned it:
You only paid a dollar for it.
This happens to be an exception to the above rule.

The picture quality is poor, but I don't like the date. It looks to me like the 9's are different styles.

That's a combination of poor picture quality and dirt or tarnish near the rim. A close examination of the date shows that they are the same.

Then I guess you have already made up your mind.
