Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 09/15/2016 11:50 pm I picked up a Seated Liberty dollar in about Very Fine condition. I looks good to me, but I have had to return a fake Seated Liberty dollar before. My digital scale is off by a couple of hundredths of a gram, I think. On my scale the coin weighs 26.63 grams. The weight should be 26.73. Is that within the tolerances or should I be concerned about the weight? Thanks for your advice. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 09/16/2016 08:41 am There are other ways to test besides weight. Thickness Magnet test Ring test (i.e. Sound) Compare coins to pictures of legitimate coins (i.e. Denticles, design, rim, etc) (this is a good one for Trade dollars) Or you could just send it to PCGS or NGC Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 09/16/2016 09:44 am That is a good weight. I have a Seated dollar that I cracked out of a slab for my 7070 that is actually off a little further more than yours if I am remembering correctly. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
