Message:: [QUOTE="CBull, post: 601372, member: 18839"]Yeah, I am pretty sure it is fake. I am not sure what it is made out of. To me, it looks and feels like a real coin. I'm no expert though. I tried the magnet trick to see if it would stick to the coin. It didn't though. What other materials could have been used for this coin so that a magnet wouldn't attract? Anyone know? I am starting to wonder about my other coins as well. I am not a coin collector but I have been given coins from time to time and then I have actually found one in the ground while doing some excavation work. I have some silver quarters and a lot of wheat pennies. Any of those worth anything? The oldest wheat penny I have is 1909 and I think I have a wheat penny for almost every year. I have some old liberty quarters too but I can't even read the date on them. Pretty worn. Anyway, taking my fake 1804 to a local dealer for his opinion. Just curious as to what it is made out of and what he thinks about it. I would weigh it but I don't have a gram scale. I will post back on here when I hear more about the coin though. Thanks for all of your input on my coin though![/QUOTE]
