Merlin Washington New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 4:00 pm I recently purchased some silver dollars, or at least what I thought where silver dollars. I believe the indian heads are counterfeit. I was hoping the bottom 2 where real. Can anyone help me out? Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 4:09 pm All of those look counterfeit to me. If the bottom two were real you would have a coin in the multiple thousand dollar range. have you tried a magnet test? Report this Post to the Staff
Merlin Washington New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 4:15 pm I have not tried a magnet test. If the real they will not be magnetic? Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 4:23 pm yes, sometimes good fakes don't stick, but these don't look like good fakes, honestly. I would be surprised if they didn't stick to a magnet like glue. Edited by Adam_E 09/26/2014 4:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Merlin Washington New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 4:34 pm I got them at a swap meet for 3 dollars a piece. So I'm not to disappointed. It was worth a chance Report this Post to the Staff
wheatchaser140 Pillar of the Community United States 2368 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 4:41 pm Oh good, so not much of a loss then. Just a cheap collecting lesson! For future reference, all silver dollars with an Indian head design are counterfeit. And never buy Bust Dollars that haven't been certified by the top 4 TPGs, which are PCGS, NGC, ANACS, and ICG. Good luck on all future collecting endeavors! Report this Post to the Staff
DoubleEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1748 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 6:27 pm Invest in a copy of "guide book of United States coins", Merlin. It is nicknamed the " Red Book" by collectors. It will acquaint you with the designs, mintages, years of mintage and mint marks of United States coinage. Be careful around any rare dates or rare mint marks, they are highly counterfeited by the Chinese. Edited by DoubleEagle20 09/26/2014 6:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
