I found this Silver Dollar buried in the mud in a river here in Montana during a drought year(water level was real low)...this was back in 1990, or 1991, and the coin already looked old back then. I went to the US Mint website, and they said these were first produced by them in 2001, as a tribute to the sculptor James Earle Fraser who created the Buffalo nickel. BUT, as I said, I found this coin back in 1990 while fishing. Every site I've gone to, says they weren't made until 2001. I've been on ebay, forums, US Mint and can't find any similiar. I'm no coin collector, so I don't know all the good resources to find out what it is. Any help greatly appreciated.

Without any markings, it would be almost impossible to determine the maker as many bullion firms have produced rounds of a similar design. Report this Post to the Staff
