As I'm sure you're aware, these are pretty heavily faked. Does this coin weigh properly, sound of silver, not show signs of casting on the edge, etc? Report this Post to the Staff
GEKO Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 03/02/2014 7:26 pm Proper weight no casting silver... 27.03 g... I dont doubt the authenticity of the coin in this case. I just noticed that the tip of the trident and the mint mark have a different look than other 1902 Dollars. Battered you say... doesn't look that bad. Report this Post to the Staff
