TheCoinDom Valued Member Belgium 186 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 3:39 pm So I had this for a while and recently I started to have suspicions about this coin. Can you please tell me if it's real? It is not magnetic. My scale only shows full grams and it shows 27g (that's what it should show rounding up to the nearest gram). I'm almost sure it's real silver, but is it a real coin? I hope it is... I'm bad at counterfeit detecting, unfortunately Sorry if the pics aren't clear enough. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

terry8835 Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 04/20/2017 7:34 pm The color is really odd. Maybe just the photo but it appears to have no luster at all. That is odd to me since it looks like a nice coin otherwise. It is not a really rare or scarce Carson City so why fake it? The details of the back of the coin look really good, but no luster at all as if it were not made of silver. Report this Post to the Staff
