1804 Silver dollar

Sorry, I overlooked the original date. I have to learn that some of these threads have been around for years.

Even some of us who have been around for a few years do the same thing... you're forgiven.

 

Unlike the OP, I don't get the impression today's poster has an agenda. I'd guess he's inexperienced and tagged onto an existing thread in hopes of finding a legit answer to his question.

The OP on the other hand appeared to be phishing for a sucker.

 

The magnetic test turned out to be negative

 

Deja Poo......

 

I have about 20 of those the same as yours lying somewhere around the house... Sold a couple for $100+ as fakes since they were the only ones on ebay without the copy mark... Dont know if you can do the same nowadays.

 

Don't even think about it, although it is still being done. EBay has essentially banned the sales of replica (i.e. counterfeit) coins, but because they eliminated the "replica" category, more and more fakes are appearing in all of the coin categories. Almost all replicas coming out of China for the past ten years have been umarked; and over the past few years the quality has improved dramatically. High quality fakes (much better than the one elsie posted) are readily available for a few dollars each with the exception of those struck on 90% silver planchets, will generally sell for melt.

 

Here are several gallons of Chinese fake BU Indian Cents, Large Cents, and Half Cents:

I agree with you that the 4 is the biggest giveaway after reading the famous alteration method known as "chasing". could it be an alternation from an 1800 silver dollar? I am not sure if its an replica from china because my dad bought it 40 years ago.It

 

Were those the same guys that spoke to Harry Reid off the record?

Sorry. I didn't realize this thread was so old.

 

Good question, years ago they did sometimes alter genuine bust dollars to make fake 1804's. I'll check the see if the obv matches 1800 B-11 or B-19.

Ok checked and the obv is NOT the obv used on B-11 or B-19 so it is not an altered genuine bust dollar.
