1847 Liberty Seated Dollar Thoughts?

Looks like it was buried then harshly cleaned.

Complete fake, there was no 1847 O Dollar.

You cut me to the quick sir !


This is no fake.......Its a real magnet LOL.

Well the gig is up with that call, no point in going on.

The history is this.

When I was with the DOD in the Middle East, I was wandering through one of those open air markets in Kuwait, and I saw a guy with a whole bowl of these.

The crowd was going crazy as he place the bowl on the table and he was selling them right and left.

I thought to myself without even touching one, how are people this gullible, as every single one was dated 1847, I mean what are the chances?.

So I went across the way from his table and bought a magnet, (A Big One), went back over and plopped it in the bowl and fished out about ten LOL.

One guy there says in really broken English, "How can this be?

I said there fakes !

I thought it best at that point to seek my entertainment else where LOL.

I had one of the guys go over later and buy one for 1 KD as a keep sake.

Some stuff you just cant make up.

I've been meaning to share that story for a while, and while cleaning out the last box that came back from the move, there it was in the bottom of the box.

But a good story ;)

Great story!

Kuwait's black market mainly comes from China for all items except animals, which come from Africa.

I'm assuming a Chinese fake. He had European coins too, but I only dunked that particular bowl lol,
