I believe 26.73 grams is standard for a new coin. Others will know if this is within tolerance, but pics will be needed.  to the CCF! |

Well within mint tolerance. Show it to us please. A very nice coin I'm sure.

It is slightly high, tolerance is .097 so max weight would be 26.827 grams, but a bigger flag is that the 1858 is a proof only dollar.

As Conder mentioned, it is a proof-only coin with a mintage of only 300. Pics are necessary for authentication first.

Not sure how I messed up that badly, I gave the tolerance as 6 grains or .39 grams, but the only thing that is close to would be the SBA's or golden dollars and it is off even for them they are 5 grains or .3 grams. The tolerances for the Ike dollars was wrong as well, I said 8 grains .52 grams it shold be 14 grains for clad 15.16 grains for 40%, .907 and .984 grams respectively. The specs on the 412.5 grain 90% silver dollars is 1.5 grains or .097 grams |

The coin is almost certainly a fake based on the weight....and the date...
If you believe it's real submit it to ANACS for inexpensive authentication. It's a $10,000 coin if it's real.

I don't think we will get pictures. He made this one post, came back the next day, and hasn't been back since then.
