I have a 2019 Silver dollar. Someone told me is not real. How do I verify its authenticity?

Color test with a tissue:  This even works in albums so you don't even need to remove it from the set. Just layer the single layer of tissue on the holder over the coins in question.

 Could you please post up better pictures, both obverse and reverse? try to not get so much glare on the coin and crop it to the rim to maximize the size that can be displayed.

The reverse sure looks funny, the details are very soft... Certainly not a proof coin.

The eagles neck is to short and the head doesn't look right. I'm going with fake.

Quote: The eagles neck is to short and the head doesn't look right. I'm going with fake. Also the sash in the birds mouth does not swing back far enough to the back of the neck. It goes up then back down in the middle of the neck not near the rear.. The stars above this vulture are touching. they should have a separation between them I'll also go FAKE

Definitely counterfeit. There's not much right about it.

Thank you all. I have a silly question, can its authenticity be fake and the silver be real? I hope you all understand what I mean

Yes, it can be a fake and still be silver, but yours almost certainly isn't. Fakes are usually only made of silver if they have a high enough collector value to be worth making them from real silver. Even if yours was real, it wouldn't have any more Collecter value than it's melt value.

Counterfeit!
Hopefully you didn't pay anything for that.

No. It was gave to me to have checked out. How do I know for certain if it is real silver or not. A magnet won't stick to it I know that.
