It's a copy of the 1872 Amazonian pattern dollar. A pattern coin with only 3 know examples.

Typical counterfeit of a U.S. pattern coin with Chinese origins. Pay close attention to the darker toning around the devices. The coin is too good to be true. If it was a genuine pattern it would be in a slab. Reported... Let's see if ebay pulls it. Edited by westernsky

Of course it's fake. I though the ebay listing was pretty funny. |

Need weight diameter and thickness, to determine if it is a nicer than average silver fake worth keeping.
