Message:: [QUOTE="Vess1, post: 576772, member: 13650"]First of all, just the fact that the 1804 was in there makes it a good possibility that the rest are not authentic.    For future reference, the 1804 silver dollar has 15 know examples in existence and is one of the rarest coins ever made and one resides at the Smithsonian.    There were two reverses for them and the position of "STATES OF" above the clouds on the back of yours matches neither of them.     A first reverse type sold at auction in Aug. 99 for  $4.1 million.  A second reverse sold at auction in Jul. 03 for $1.2 million.   So it's not likely anybody here will ever stumble upon a real one.  But many copies have been made of them so the average guy can have something to hold and look at I guess.   The rest don't look right and are suspect.   They all look the same.  You'd probably be doing the hobby a favor if you put them in holders and labeled them as fakes so somebody down the road could study them.[/QUOTE]
