I have come across an 1804 silver dollar. I know there are only a few known in the world. I would like to know how to spot a fake. If you can help or offer advice I would like to hear from you. Thanks
First thing would be the price as there are only 15 known. They are very expensive (MILLIONS) and unless one pops up in a museum collection or a privatly held specimen a Rockefeller or Dupont had secreted away decides to sell your not going to get a real one. http://www.1804dollar.com/ Take Care and Welcome to the List Ben
to CoinTalk Howard. Unless it's a really, really high grade counterfeit made of coin silver, your "Morgan" won't weigh 26.73 grams. Where did you "come across" this item?
