<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1257332, member: 17919&quot;]Several years ago, I bought a Bust dollar from a trusted dealer I had known since high school who assured me that the coin had &quot;original surfaces&quot;. I took her word for it and just kept it in a Whitman album for several years. But then I read an article about fake Bust dollars (especially about my date, 1799), and became concerned. So I took it out of the album to give it a sound test. It certainly *sounded* like silver. And the weight was right, too-- 26.96 grams, give or take .01 gram. But when I sent it in to be graded, guess what? Fake![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
