The bird says it all - reproduction. Genuine 1899 dollar reverse:  |

Welcome to our community, Einar! Definitely a fake. Here are pictures of a genuine example from my collection:   Hopefully, you can see the clear differences between this coin and yours. |

I know next to zero about these coins but the bird on the back looks more like a crow than an eagle. I especially like the eye. LOL.

We know Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird, but I'm not sure who came up with the idea for the pigeon.

The Liberty dollar from barryg looks gorgeous. Is that a five-figure coin?

Fake. Never buy a rare coin like that unless it's certified.
