JoelP New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/14/2025 4:09 pm Any opinions on the authenticity of this 1860 O dollar? It's on an online estate auction so I only have pictures of the coin. There are 3 days left and the high bid is $125. Thanks very much for any help. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24952 Posts	Posted 03/14/2025 4:47 pm to the CCF, JoelP! BH1964 makes a really good point. With these pictures and no data on weight, etc., it's impossible to tell if it is genuine. Are returns allowed? But I'm sure the bidding will increase greatly on it. Without the ability to examine it in hand, I would definitely pass on it. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
JoelP New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/14/2025 5:37 pm Thanks for the info, I think you're both right, I'll pass on the coin, it's also not in any type of holder I will ask the auction if they guarantee authenticity. Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 03/17/2025 11:14 am This coin looks 100% genuine and I would feel comfortable paying reasonable money from only these photos. There are no red flags that I see, except the old cleaning that is visible in the left obverse field. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/17/2025 6:38 pm I agree it looks okay in these low-res images from a foot away. There are also counterfeit Seated dollars so good they have been certified genuine by PCGS & NGC and this is a $1,000 coin. Unless someone were selling it cheap with full return privileges there is no sense risking it. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
