TheKroe Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 10:20 pm Hey all! I have the opportunity to purchase this coin, but am not acquainted with it at all. I usually collect Peace and Morgan dollars. I don't know exactly what you look at for identifying faked coins. What do you think? Thank you, Cody Update: images are from the seller.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 11:09 pm Is this a half dollar, or a dollar? I'm guessing it's a half dollar but would be nice to know... It APPEARS to be authentic but the obverse has something funky going on at the center? Looks to be VG to near Fine sharpness. Large 3 in the date. Professional authentication by a TPG is always recommended for such an expensive coin. I don't see any huge "red flags" as to authenticity. That being said before buying this coin (quarter, half, or dollar) I would want to inspect it in person and/or only buy from a seller with an ironclad return policy (14 days good, 30 days better.)

jst1dreamr Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 08/21/2018 02:52 am I think something is off but I can't put my finger on it. If your seller is reputable then maybe but I personally would be very wary. That said I too am a Morgan dollar guy and not real knowledgeable on the draped bust coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Looks like an indentation below Liberty's ear, that also shows up on reverse as a flattish spot on the eagle's breast. Still, depending on price ...

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 08/27/2018 10:19 pm What's up with the crescent moon reverse image? It does appear genuine with Fine details. The obverse rim damage hurts but it would likely straight grade at 12 assuming the hidden portion of the reverse is not hiding damage. I'd value it around $300 as-is.
