[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3371727, member: 78298"]You always need to include nice clear photos of both sides. 1861 could be real as both Philly and New Orleans were minted in large numbers. The San Fran is not super rare either. Book says weight should be 12.44, which is close, your scale may not be precise, although if circulated I would expect the weight to be slightly lower (12.3) rather than higher. Again without photos there's no way to tell and even with them you can only make an educated guess. If this is something you got for a very small amount of money, then the fake factor rises in comparison.[/QUOTE]
