<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 490958, member: 13650&quot;]They don&#039;t look real to me either.&nbsp; They look like plated copies to me and the plating is chipping off.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never seen real ones that looked like that.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The Chinese have over the years and still now, have made a lot of silver dollar counterfeits.&nbsp; New ones are getting very good and they ship them over here without a copy or replica stamp on them so read up and learn as much as you can before you start buying like this.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; These 1847 dollars are kind of rare.&nbsp; They only made 140,750 of them.&nbsp; If these were real and graded out at a basic Very Good grade (which is pretty low), they would be worth about 250 bucks a piece.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;m betting you didn&#039;t pay that much for them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hopefully somebody wasn&#039;t trying to scam you.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; As hard as times are right now,&nbsp; everybody&#039;s pulling out all the junk they can find and trying to make a buck off it.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I recommend you buy a Red Book.&nbsp; They are dated a year ahead so the 09s are on their way out and the 2010s will be coming out soon.&nbsp; Buy a 2010 Red book and read the info in the front at least.&nbsp;&nbsp; They also give basic sizes and weights for most denominations and it is a price guide for everything as well.&nbsp;&nbsp; Nice pictures too and a basic guide for grading each denomination.&nbsp;&nbsp; Along with actual mintage figures for every U.S coin made that is known.&nbsp; It helped get me up to speed and made me aware of coins I didn&#039;t even know existed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
