Hi There, I am a new member here living in the UK. I have been collecting coins for a long time . Recently I have been researching my coin collections and out of the crowd, I found that one of my coins is an 1846 sitting Liberty Silver Dollar that has a minting error. The word "UNITED" is a double letter printed on it. please if anyone can advise me of this error and its value. I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Md

to the CCF, Indiraz1968! Unfortunately, your coin is not genuine. It is a modern fake manufactured in China. Besides the doubled UNITED, the distorted stars on the obverse are a sure sign of a fake. A genuine 1846 Seated Liberty dollar should weigh 26.73 g. Please check yours and report back.

Indiraz1968,

Not to pile on but it does look fake and harshly cleaned.You can do the tissue test to see if it is silver and the magnetic test as well.Weight?

FWIW, the we generally call them "Seated Liberty" not "Sitting Liberty". But yep, that's closer to Sitting Bull than a Seated Liberty.

Sorry for your loss...
