You need to be a professional to buy raw coins. Report this Post to the Staff

If it isn't, then I recommend that you measure the specific gravity so that we can help you to determine if it is made from silver or not.

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 05/23/2023 10:29 pm The photo might look like a poor quality genuine coin, but it also looks no different than a stack of fakes I have. Having no helpful measures or meaningful test info, I'd doubt authenticity until proven otherwise. A couple simple home tests could be done, unless the OP has no idea of what those are or has no means to do them. Report this Post to the Staff

The picture below is a 1934 dollar graded by NGC I once owned. The other coin is a fake I found online. It is almost undetectable even by a professional grader. Report this Post to the Staff
