<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NeoWeird, post: 117164, member: 5133&quot;]First off hello everyone. My family has always been a big currency collector (we have currency ranging from the silver pennies to Confederate notes). I&#039;ve always had an interest for currency collecting but never really took a liking to it. That however does not stop me from grabbing a good purchase when I see it. I just got back from a trip to London and while there I came across a lone merchant at an open air market type of place where people sell antiques, random crap, skills, etc that range from vintage clothing to custom wood engravings. Well as I was browsing the stalls I came across a man who sold items that were either silver or could be pawned off as silver to someone who didn&#039;t know better. I saw a small box with some coins and instantly knew I had found a present for my father. After a short talk I bought all his American silver dollars that he had; a total of 7 (A 1971 Eisenhower, two 1922 Liberty Dollars, three silver dollars from 1876 in almost perfect condition, and an 1804 silver dollar). It is this later coin that peaked my interest enough for me to buy them all. Anyways, as I got home I decided to look up their worths and of course I couldn&#039;t help but see the &quot;one of the rarest and most unique coins&quot; talk that you see associated with them. I wanted to get an opinion on it before I took it in to be appraised. Here is a picture of said coin:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b354/NeoWeird/coin.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sorry if it is hard to make out. I left it at my father&#039;s house and just took a quick snap so I could reference it as I looked on the internet. I automatically assume it&#039;s a fake because I am not lucky enough to find something of any value like that. Any ideas or information on it? I can also get some pictures of the other silver dollars if you would like, but this coin in particular is the one of interest. Also, a quick heads up on the value of the three very fine quality 1876 silver dollars would be nice. All lettering is intact on them and all lines are near perfect, and aside from a small ding on the rim of one (it looks almost like one coin was dropped from waist height and landed perpindicular to it, so it&#039;s a small ding but nothing else) they are perfect with all lines and lettering crisp including the folds in her dress. Any information on this will be GREATLY appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jacob</p><p><br /></p><p>EDITED: I would also like to mention that the coin is minted that way. I did not rotate the coin as I flipped it over, the reverse side is offset at that angle. Also the coin is the same diameter as the other American silver dollars and has the grooved rim like the other silver dollars. When held in a stack it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between them just by the rim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
