The belief that only better grades/dates will/are being counterfeited is flawed from the get go. Any date of any denomination can be counterfeited. The best counterfeits whether contemporary or modern are the ones which draw the least attention. Comments that mislead about what grade is "likely" to be counterfeited are of no service to anyone and are BLATANTLY WRONG. The potential for all coins and grades to be counterfeited is nothing but FACT. It has been proven time and time again. As for the coin here, the image is too poor to establish if it is indeed a counterfeit. This date of silver dollar was counterfeited in the late 60's and again in modern times. Testing for silver will show if it is one of the counterfeits made with some thing else but will not eliminate the silver versions.
