Seated Liberty Dollar Opinion

Pictures are a bit small, but it looks genuine to me as well from what I can see. I haven't heard of them selling fakes either, and I have made several purchases from them. Things to be wary of with GSC are: Juiced photos and problem coins that don't have the problem stated. Of course, over half of the sellers on ebay are like this. GSC also always has a lot of high end raw early proofs, which strikes me as odd. I'd go check out there store if you are that close.

I read on Heritage that 1860-O is more available due to some hoard recently found?.....I'm not looking for a gem.

P.S. Just an interest in history......

1860-O has the highest mintage of any of the No Motto Seated dollars I believe. So, it is the most common date - which is kinda cool because it represents coins minted in the deep south at the very brink of the Civil War.

It's the date/mm I have in my 7070 slot.

The pictures posted by Johnny54321 is the clincher. The date on the dollar in question is very different from those shown on the four genuine coins. After 1840 they used a four digit logotype punch for the dates. After about 1850 they tended to use the same style punch for all of the dies for a given year, and the same punch for all the dies of a denomination. And to the best of my knowledge there is only one die pair for 1863. All of this tends to say that if the date on the subject coin doesn't match then it is almost centainly fake.

And I think you are confusing the 1860-O dime with the 1860-O dollar. The 60-O dime is a rare date but several years ago a small group of about seven to ten uncirculated pieces was found at a civil war site. The 60-O dollar was always common, but in 1962 I think it was, two bags of uncirculated 1860-O dollars came out of the Treasury hoard. (And one bag of uncirculated 1859-O dollars as well. plus some miscellaneous other Seated dollars as well.)

I also complained to ebay early on about this coin and received a response email but it didn't really say anything except that they would refer to their outside coin experts. (which I hope include forum members, the power of the forum continues to grow) Glad to hear it appears to have been pulled.
Brewzz and Condor101, according to Q David Bowers in his book "Buyers Guide to Silver Dollars and Trade dollars", there were over 6000 unc 1860o silver dollars in the treasury release along with an unknown quantity of circulated examples. That is why that date is so common, all of those would have flowed directly into the collector market. However most of the treasury release coins were heavily bagmarked, making high end unmarked coins much harder to find.
