Vasilacky New Member Turkey 6 Posts	Posted 04/25/2019 1:07 pm Hello guys. I recently got myself those 3 coins. They looked real to me. Several silver experts also confirmed that these are real silver. But I can't be certain about these coins. Please look at them and tell me if they are real or not. Best Regards 1843 (O) Seated Liberty 1848 (CC) Seated Liberty 1875 (CC) Trade Dollar * Image links removed by the staff.

Sasquatch Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 04/25/2019 2:28 pm Silver is not magnetic. Find a small magnet and carry it on your key chain to use on any suspect coins. I have seen some coins cast off real coins using iron or steal. This test will eliminate those fakes. Report this Post to the Staff

Vasilacky New Member Turkey 6 Posts	Posted 04/25/2019 2:52 pm Thank you for your answers buddies. 1875 Trade dollar isn't magnetic. But the other 2 coins are magnetic. So, those 2 are fake and the Trade dollar one real? Edited by Vasilacky 04/25/2019 2:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sasquatch Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 04/25/2019 3:30 pm Nickel is magnetic unless mixed with other metals Stainless steel with nickle is not magnetic, and without it is magnetic. The 5 cent piece is not magnetic because nickle is mixed with copper. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18014 Posts	Posted 04/25/2019 3:54 pm Hello and The Carson City Mint was only operational from 1870 to 1893, so an 1848 coin with a CC mintmark must be a forgery.

Vasilacky New Member Turkey 6 Posts	Posted 04/25/2019 4:19 pm llevellin 1875 TD isn't magnetic. Are there non-magnetic fake ones? Report this Post to the Staff
Sasquatch Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 04/25/2019 4:36 pm Yes. Some fakes are made with silver, (usually not with the the 10% copper real Trade dollars have) You can also check the rim and edges with known real examples. Google your coin and look at examples shown. Best yet, take it to a coin dealer and have hive check or send in to be graded. Report this Post to the Staff
