Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 06/14/2014 12:31 am Since the San Francisco Mint opened in 1854 in response to the California Gold Rush it would appear that your coin is a reproduction. Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 06/14/2014 12:36 am if it has an S mint mark, then it is fake. If the S is something else, pictures would help greatly. Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 06/14/2014 01:04 am can you get a close-up picture of the S mark? have you weighed the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
ozzy76 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 06/14/2014 01:04 am it only weighs 17g instead of 26 so I guess it is for sure fake Report this Post to the Staff
