USA silver dollar like a Peace Dollar

Buying coins from a bank yesterday the teller showed me a silver dollar she took in earlier that she was going to buy. The Obverse was a very crude copy of a Peace dollar. It didn't say United States of America, but it did say "USA." The reverse said at the bottom, .999 silver. I told her it was fake (she, a bank teller, didn't know that, lol), but that I had seen something like this somewhere and that it is real silver from what I remember so it is worth the once of silver price.


I've seen this before in an article, but can't remember what it is? Can anyone help? Legion Dollar, or something like that....???

It sounds like it was a silver round. It isn't a "fake dollar." They are bullion coins and also somewhat collectible. There are many types that, to the best of my knowledge, have never been catalogued anyplace.

 

Do you speak of the norfed liberty dollars?
These are very collectible pieces, and some are very expensive...
I own one of these dollars... It is 1 ounce of copper though...

Like what Cloudsweeper said, what you probably saw was a silver round that, although may not be used as currency, but definitely has bullion value. As of right now, it holds a $15.24 value. Not bad for finding a fake "dollar".

 

I think it might have been a Liberty dollar, but the pics on the link T$ posted were not it. Perhaps it was an older one. And yes, I told her that though it is not real US coinage, it is indeed silver which is worth about 15 bucks. She smiled and was pleased. I just thought it was odd that she thought it was real money because it said "one dollar" on it.

 

This is what it was:

 

That would be a norfed liberty dollar
That is pretty sweet, that that lady found one

 

I tried to buy it from her. She wouldn't budge. She then taunted, err, showed me a 58 quarter and a 53 dime from the day before that she had gotten.

I need to become a bank teller!

 

You could find some pretty cool stuff!

 

You do...but the pay isn't great and you have to deal with mad people a lot too. I was a teller for a year between college and dental school. Overall, it's a fun job though and I really enjoyed it.

 

Here ya' go....

 

Not quite!
He said it said "USA" not United States of America
So no cigar.. lol

But...
I had never seen an actual peace dollar round, before, that looks like that!
That is a cool one! Thanks for sharing

 

It's OK..I don't smoke cigars anyway!

 

It was that norfed liberty dollar, whatever the heck that is.

I posted a pic above as I scoured the internet I finally found what it looked like...

It is what I call, "REAL MONEY" not the money we use today...
Too bad we can't use that in circulation!

Drat! You get the cigar..

 

Where is my cigar??????
I gotta say, somebody on this forum owes me a cigar! LOL

 

This is way off topic and I understand the meaning of the statement. However, is it proper grammar to use the same word consecutively in a sentence like that. If not, is there any scenario in the English language where the same word can be used consecutively?

 

Makes sense to me...

That is pretty sweet, that that lady found one...

If I put a comma in there, would it help

That is pretty sweet, that, that lady found one...

 

Give me your definition or real money my friend;
