<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1430144, member: 31533&quot;]I am thinking it looks like it could be a counterfeit. I am not an expert on this coin, so this is just an opinion. You would either have to get it to an expert on authentic LS dollars, to look at it, or send it to a grading company if you think it&#039;s real, and want to know for sure. Pictures help, but people are not always able to say definitively based on pictures. Sometimes counterfeits are very good ones and it takes experts to be able to say, based on their knowledge of real ones, whether this is real or fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there are lots of fakes out there for this coin, and 1872 is a known year that is faked.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s really hard and fast way to say what makes one coin fake, without knowing the real ones first. Sometimes it&#039;s very easy if you see the hallmarks of a cast counterfeit. Sometimes it&#039;s more difficult to tell a fake from real.</p><p><br /></p><p>You might want to see if there is a coin show in your area, and go talk to some of the dealers there, showing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
