richntrish2016 New Member United States 0 Posts	Posted 04/28/2018 5:07 pm I was going through my mother in law things after she pass away and came across this beauiful coin. I am not familiar wit this coin. Can someone help me know if this real or fake? Report this Post to the Staff

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 04/28/2018 5:22 pm You would need to post some pictures. These are frequently counterfeited. In fact, if you Google "1802 Silver Dollar", the first link that comes up is about detecting counterfeits. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!)

Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 04/28/2018 5:53 pm Unfortunately, that appears to be fake. Compare to a genuine piece at http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/coin/detail/40087 The spacing of "LIBERTY" is uneven compared to the stars (L is far, Y is close), "1802" is too far from the edge, the denticles do not go to the rim, and the stars on the reverse are too small.
