Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 8:53 pm Counterfeiters often have problems with the precise shape of letters and numerals. If your coin's features match those of Joe2007's coin it would be a good indicator of authenticity. Seated dollars can be authenticated by ANACS at reasonable cost. If it were my coin and I had otherwise convinced myself it was probably real I would pay them for grading and authentication. Report this Post to the Staff

Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 10:02 pm There are varying quality of counterfeits, some are quite crude and would only fool an amateur while on the other hand there are very good quality fakes that even fool the experts and are very difficult to catch. Another thread that might be helpful. The counterfeit shown in the below thread is fairly easy to spot when compared to genuine coins but not all are. Hope this helps. https://goccf.com/t/117247&whichpage=1 Report this Post to the Staff
ttucker454 New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 10:54 pm I read through the entire thread you linked and my coin has none of the tell tell features that, that coin had so I feel pretty confident about the coin. Still being unsure I will probably just have it sent off to get graded Report this Post to the Staff

Both coins have the same specifications so the thickness should be the same on both. If the seated in noticeable thicker then the alloy may not be right and they increased the thickness to compensate for short weight. Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7624 Posts	Posted 05/26/2014 10:06 am Probably a real coin but to be 100% sure you might as well send it off for TPG and remove all doubts. Report this Post to the Staff
