Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 10/07/2009 08:53 am Here's a close up of the fake one US dollar year 1851 silver coin after cleaning, note copper came out and just traces of silver plating remained. The "L" and the "T" on Liberty is segmented. Bought this one way back 1991, I saw it at ebay today as "replica" it's not even a replica because there's no original, it's the exact size of a USA silver Dollar. So what is it called, a token or medal? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

The obverse is obviously an Indian Head cent design while the reverse is of a Type 1 Gold Dollar. Report this Post to the Staff
