[QUOTE="OldFlyByNightUK, post: 2988295, member: 93083"]Hello, We recently purchased these 2 'dollar' coins, but have found on receipt some things which feel wrong. We need a second opinion, and think you'll have one. We guess some things we should have spotted from the photos before we bid. The description was minimal - maybe we should have thought that suspicious. Anyway, what we can say is the weight is 22.64g Seated Liberty, and 22.45g Peace dollar, though wiki says they should be 26.73g The dimensions are both 38mm which is OK, but the sound when tapped is dull, they do not ring. The wear across the Peace dollar is inconsistent across the coin, some letters almost gone whilst adjacent edge is high. The Seated Liberty has no Liberty sash across her shield, and there are extraneous dots around the stars – really should have noticed that – rushing and naïve trust! We believe the expression is 'our bad'. But, what else did we miss? Thanks in advance for the lists. Gill & Alan PS Going to create thread now ... if photos don't appear, we'll try again ...[/QUOTE]
