<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mainebill, post: 3773484, member: 44004&quot;]I just had an experience today by a friend who I’ve bought some good coins from. He’s a house clean out guy who is an expert in military antiques. He passed me a 1845 seated dollar. I looked at it in a glance and thought it looked a little questionable but considering the source probably not. With a loupe I didn’t like it at all and the scale test it failed. My thoughts was a higher quality cast fake of real silver that fooled someone before and my friend after when he bought it. At the same show we we’re all looking at a confederate civil war short sword. Not my area of expertise but I thought it real and we all did but so many fakes of them. My thought was real as I know early metal work very well[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
