Is this the THIRD thread about your coin which has been answered in the other two threads ?

 

I just wanted to make sure you understood what Off Center meant in the context of this coin.. It has nothing to do with an Off Center Strike but about the positioning of the bust - http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/96858

 

Steam coinage didn't begin until 1836, so there weren't any reeded edge coins struck in the US until then. The third side of a coin tells us a lot. Chinese counterfeit, and not in silver.

 

Bingo! That and the grainy, cast surfaces.

 

Unfortunately the passed down through the family story has problems too. It may have been passed from your great grandmother to your grandmother to your mother to you, but this style of fake has only been around less than 20 years.
