That's because its a fake

 

The American Silver Eagle one ounce bullion round is what it is suppose to be. But they didn't mint them until 1986

 

Also a bad one. I do not even believe it is silver, rather looks like pewter.

 

Sorry, just someones bad attempt at making a fake ASE.

 

Nahh, it is a "Fantasy" like a 1964 Peace dollar, a 1964-D Franklin. A 1931 Standing quarter. It isn't counterfeit if the date is of a nonexistent coin... Right?
:devil:

 

Maybe not techniquely , to me it's a fake all day long , especially if it's base metal . But then there3 were counterfieters who didn't realize Capped Bust halves went to a reeded edge in late 1836 and continued to use the lettered edge on their 1837 dated counterfeits and they sure were counterfeits .

 

Of course, because of the date and intent behind their manufacture.

 

So what is the intent of this piece ? Is it to make people think it's silver , or just a novelty .

 

Because this coin was never minted and put into circulation it is not a counterfeit.


Why would you call a coin that was never minted a fake counterfiet?

 

That is a good question. At this time there are insufficient facts to make a proper determination.

 

plus if you buy eagles in numbers you usually count the coins by the edges, if the edge looks decent i would have just counted it and moved on and probably wouldnt have noticed the date and it being counterfeit till time to sell

 

okay don't you think if it was fake the person that made it word pick a correct date and why would they make a weird date that would get them caught for making fake coins ?????

 

the rim isn't right the date is crooked and the the 2 isn't right the reeds probably dont look good either. have you weighed it? have you tested it? and there are fakes of EVERYTHING. if they were perfect it would not be a good thing. but it seems most counterfeit coins are of mediocre quality. then there are some that are very good. this is one that isnt that great.

 

That feeble attempt of and ASE wouldn't fool even my daughter...and she's 2 months old.

 

Doug, do you use the word counterfeiter in a manner that the person making the coin/round in question could be convicted on criminal charges?

 

Go to a large asian market and you see all kinds of similar things. I stopped last year and was actually looking through such a "stash". I found things like 1804 bust $, 1836 bust $, 1868 morgans, 1930 Peace dollars, etc. They are from bad factories in China. Unfortunately, the average fakes are now better. I hear there is now a large amount of circulated WL halves floating around selling as junk silver. They are artificially worn, so most traces of them being fakes are worn off. Its enough to make me worried if I were still buying very much junk silver.
