<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dos Mundos, post: 68239, member: 4021&quot;]If you&#039;re referring to the 1741 Pillar Dollar or &quot;Dos Mundos&quot; as it is referred to here in my country I would have to agree that it seems like a fake. I&#039;m no expert and have no claims of being one but here are my observations.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The edge and rim is too flat.&nbsp; The Pillar dollars have &quot;Laurel leaf&quot; edges and each leaf set is raised somewhat making the edge a little more &quot;bumpy&quot;.&nbsp; The fake ones I&#039;ve seen have the laurel leaves engraved on the edge making it appear flat.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s nothing wrong with the &quot;8&quot;. What&#039;s suspect about it is the granular surface which looks like it&#039;s a cast copy(then again some sea salvaged&nbsp; or corroded specimens sometimes look like that).&nbsp; The Letters also aren&#039;t as distinct as is usually seen in these coins which aside from being one of the most beautifully designed are also one of the most nicely struck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
