Yes, looks like a fake. I suggest reporting the coin.

Mushy details, feather coat of eagle is too coarse, Liberty looks like it got punched in the face, stalks in Liberty's hand are too thick, wrong text font, shoe not detailed enough, etc.

@road, first welcome to CCF. Second, if you compare the design on actual coins from the us mint website to your pictures, you will see many small differences. Here is a link to help you with your research: https://www.usmint.gov/american-eag...in-24EA.html"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

 To CCF! It's a bad fake. All of the details are wrong. Get your money back if you are able to. Errers and Varietys.

Funny, before I read anything I saw the pictures and instantly said - "Looks like a fake".

Yours  Yours  Mine  Mine  I tried copying your pictures as close as I could, couldn't get the lighting right. Also note the missing reed security feature, it is about by the "L" in Liberty. EDIT look at the stars under Liberty's outstretched arm. Edited by Gilly

Every once in a While I see an Obvious Fake or Counterfeit American Silver Eagles Here. Asking the Members What We think, This example is as Blatantly Fake, as Any.  As mentioned the " font " is all off, Check out the letter " L " That says it all.  This Entire " coin ", as stated, Is a Joke...... Members viewing the Coins to assist others in their Numismatic Adventures, Get your money back After Reporting the Incident to the proper authorities, .... While there are those that collect These fakes, Sounds like You were Not informed.... Welcome to the forum, Hope this helps, MD. ps, These remind me of the " find the mistakes " phoenix books we use to read and discern the subtle differences, Learn that Poem..... Edited by Morgans Dad

Hi Roadrunner, If you can't get a refund, turn Lemons into Lemonade, get a Bezel from ebay and make a Key chain out of it!  |
