Hello!

Just trying to help a friend out by possibly confirming the originality of this silver dollar. I know pics are not ideal, and unfortunately I cannot view it in hand. Please let me know what you guys think!

It looks fake to me. The image is all wrong for starters.

100% Counterfeit. Just compare photo to a genuine one.
It's not even that good a fake.

This one is just really bad. Normally I don't post on the fakes, but this one is outstandingly bad.

What caught my attention was the bird on the reverse. Especially the outlining of the wings. They didn't make any attempt at accurate counterfeiting, and freelanced a bird they thought would fool a buyer. It's a $10,000 coin, and they're targeting the tourist with $100.
