RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 5:18 pm I picked this up in a lot of early Morgan silver dollars. It rings like Silver, weight is 26.9 grams, Diameter is 38.6 and milled edge. I think it is from Japan? Value or Grade? Genuine or fake? any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 5:28 pm Weight seems good, diameter is good, the only thing is the 6 in 416 looks weird to me. Looks to be dated 1875 based on Numista http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5505.html Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 6:33 pm Might be a typo in post above, I make the year to be 1885 Report this Post to the Staff
RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 7:39 pm The date on mine looks just like this one sold on ebay and a few others I searched. do you guys think it is genuine? 262216985209 Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 9:54 pm I for one cannot say without some reservation. So I am a poor one to ask. I have coins no different than yours and some are and some are not genuine. It can be a hard call just by pictures and given information. There are 13 or 14 or so tests for genuine silver that can tell you more meaningful information. And that could be more comforting than opinions about pictures. But to answer your question, it looks good and I might expect it to be good unless I found out other reasons telling me it isn't. Report this Post to the Staff
bungle Valued Member Japan 349 Posts	Posted 02/27/2016 05:21 am It looks OK. The bottom left part of the 6 in 416 looks a bit thin, but I think that is due to the lighting and the small size of the image.

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 03/02/2016 10:12 am 1) date is indeed 1885 2) it is not very valuable 3) it is not scarce or rare. It is possible real, comparing the details. So try a magnet or the ice or ping test. Corrections welcome Report this Post to the Staff
RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 03/02/2016 11:12 am It passes the magnet test, first thing I did. ping test a-ok. I had a local collector look at it and he gave it a thumbs up. not my area of expertise or a coin I collect. Threw it up on the Bay. Report this Post to the Staff
