    Oh dear, I fear not. You can see where the high spots have worn down to base metal. And that poor eagle...

    No, sorry it's not real. Just a poor copy.

    Yeah, check to see if it is attracted to a magnet, authentic pieces would not be.

    I have seen that copy of the 1804 Dollar to make me think that it was mass produced and sold at souvenir shops. A collector gave this one to me years ago to use for presentations about spotting counterfeits. Ms. Liberty appears to be very unhappy on this piece, as well she might be.

    Here's a tip. A genuine 1804 dollar will have design details that will be very close to this genuine piece from an older vintage. All of the 1804 Dollars were made in the year 1834 and later.

    That, unfortunately, is a very low quality Chinese counterfeit.
