Rotate the picture so it's properly oriented (it makes it easier for us to help you and, well, people take the easy path). Post a picture of both sides (often a counterfeit looks much worse on the reverse). Compare it to the real coin... https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/cate...796-1797/722Check the subtle things - the shapes of the letters, shape of the stars, the nose, lips... FAKE - notice the differences in the digits from the genuine US Mint punches... -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

 .... to the Community! There is about a 99.9999% probability that your coin is a Chinese counterfeit of recent origins. There is an old saying "if it tooks to good to be true then it probably is". What's the story behind the coin? |

The letters in LIBERTY do not look anywhere near right especially at the base of all of the letters.

Hint, your first post, 179? silver dollar, chances are your coin is a fake. We see these on here all the time, and 99.9% of the time they are fake . Thid coin is a bad Chinese fake.

I would ask the OP, Sara, to post correctly oriented pics of both sides.

I suspect the OP was a "hit and run" and won't be back.
