    Hello, I live in southeast Asia and had a friend who asked me to help him find the value of two coins he owns. There are two coins one silver color and one bronze. The bronze one is significantly bigger than the silver color coin. I did a little bit of research online and it seems like the 1804 Silver Dollar is very rare, so I am aware that this is probably fake. Is there a way I can know for sure? Can you tell by the pictures attached if the coin is a fake? If it might be real is there any next steps I could take? If it is fake does it still have any value?

    They're both definitely fake, and not worth more than a few dollars.

    Ok, that is what I assumed. How can you tell?

    The 1804 dollar is one of the most highly forged coins in the world. There are only 15 specimens known to exist.

    Your two coins are obviously crude forgeries: neither look like silver, and the style of the bust/legends are very different to that of the originals.

    maybe i just noticed this because I'm a man but the first thing I noticed is that the fake coins appear to have implants on the busts bust, very bad implants at that

    Thanks for your help. My friend will be sad since he thought he had a valuable coin.
