<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kanderus, post: 1259345, member: 28447&quot;]Here is my two cents, if they hold any value:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) The coin looks very, very rich in detail. Basically in great shape, save for the luster which appears to be gone. Almost too good to be true. I look at the drapery lines, the stars above Liberty&#039;s arm, and the chest feathers on the eagle. ****, even the leaves on the branch beneath the eagle. It all looks awesome...to me at least. But then I see wear on Liberty&#039;s left hand, and on the eagle. That tells me that either the coin is/was a circulating fake OR some counterfeiter did some research.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) You say it is not magnetic and it reads on your detector as silver. To me, that would put the argument to rest. If you combine the magnetic / metal detector evidence with the wear on the coin I think you have a genuine coin. At the very least a counterfeit that was struck on silver...which if it was a copy I would note that, as to avoid prison time. Then again I am no counterfeit expert.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
