[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 1627179, member: 11854"]Oddly enough, I currently have an 1871 Seated Liberty dollar for sale on my website. The coin is graded by PCGS as MS63. This post is [i]not [/i] meant as SPAM, but rather is meant to show some points I am picking up on your piece. 1) Your piece has what appears to be surface graininess throughout, this can be very common on counterfeits and is not typically present on legitimate coins unless they are corroded or struck from rusted dies or rusted planchets. 2) The date on your piece is not using the style of numbers that I am familiar with for this issue. Look at the numbers closely and compare their thickness and overall dimensions to the numbers in the linked image. They do not match. 3) The overall profile of Ms. Liberty looks off, the style of the stars looks off, the dentils looks off and the eagle's claws seem odd. Obviously, I have not seen this in-hand, but the images are telling me the piece is no good. Below is a link to my 1871- [URL]http://wsm.ezsitedesigner.com/share/scrapbook/23/239107/TBJ1871P63.jpg[/URL][/QUOTE]
