[QUOTE="snaz, post: 487340, member: 11315"]well, here are two cast counterfeit "Silver" Dollars. These are Horribly done, and I can't imagine anyone would be fooled. But here are some pictures for you folks to save to your computers if you'd like. I picked them up for 5 dollars each. Seated Liberty: You can tell this is a counterfeit because: The stars on the obverse are not uniform in shape. It is Magnetic. Look at the date. The reeded edge is randomly missing reeds. The denticles are not uniform in spacing and size. Upon close magnification the stars and Lady Liberty are "grainy and pitted". Surprisingly the weight is 27.36 grams. relatively close to the necessary weight.

Grainy details missing denticles Rotated reverse The left wing does not stick past the wreath Is that a chicken or an eagle?
