Hello all, I recently purchased this 1938 silver dollar, ICCS graded (I will reveal what it is graded after I get your opinions) and I believe it is fraudulently been replaced with a different coin. If you could please give me your opinions on what you would grade this coin, I'd appreciate it, then I will post a picture of the grading card. Thanks! Sean    |

Counterfeit, did you buy from a foreign seller?
Perhaps the holder is also counterfeit.

Why do you say counterfeit? I think it is a legit coin, just of a lower grade than it was purported to be.

Would you please post a picture of the full coin both sides.
Hard to grade a coin from partial pictures.

I'm thinking somewhere around an EF-46 with slight cleaning.

Some of the letters in the obv. legend look off to me. Left leg of the M as well as the I's.

Really? I must be off on my grading then- what about the wear around the rim and the flattening of the denticles almost all the way around, not to mention the rim nick and fingerprint above the G in Georgivs? I would rate this coin at VF30 at best.

The flattening of rim and denticles is quite common on these dollars even in mint state, it is a result of weak strike not wear.
Rim nicks and fingerprints do not affect the grade of circulated coins, their grade is strictly a function of wear.
The first points of wear for these dollars are the eyebrow, cheek and edge of ear. These points show only the slightest wear on your coin.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Honestly, I was going to say MS62 to 63 when you first posted.
It's fine.......relax.
If that coin is a VF, then I'm the King of England.
