Hi guys! It's my first time using this forum. I kindly ask you to give your opinions on grading of a Liberty Seated dollar 1871 which I bought today for ~$30 in a trip to a small Eastern Europe country. Can't even imagine how it got there, but it's definetly homecoming!    P.S. Sorry for bad quality photos. I will add some good ones tomorrow, if necessary. |

 to the community! Can you post closeups of this coin? It looks like a crude cast counterfeit in these pictures. |

to CCF. If you crop photo before posting it may show closer. Did you do the magnet test? Weight? John1  |

I'd be surprised if this isn't a cast fake

Pitted surfaces seem to indicate a cast replica

It looks to me like salt water damage and without more information I would not say real or fake. What is the weight? Magnet test? Can you provide better images of the date and of the motto?

Modern counterfeit. Unfortunately we see these posted all the time when people get back from overseas trips and such. Anyway to the forum. Edited by Joe2007

FML! Sorry guys, I'm a fool. It's definetly a counterfeit. It simply reacts to magnet... Will always have one now in my pocket before heading to european flea markets)) Damn, why do they produce such counterfeits  It's not fair. It's history! P.S. How to delete this topic of shame? xD |

Leave it up, good tool for learning. I would not feel a fool for buying this foreign (to Europe) coin but use it as a good lesson. I have a 1888 CC Morgan myself. They were not produced that year so I bought it as a curiosity and will have it slabbed as an educational piece. Edited by NDBirdman
