[QUOTE="AgCollector, post: 288395, member: 5928"]I don't see an entry in the Krause catalog of world coins for the Liberia coin, but other, similar, $20 Liberian coins with American themes are made out of .999 fine silver, so if this one weighs 31.1 grams then it's probably ok. Same for the Cook Islands coin- my book is older than 2006 but they have issued several "ONE DOLLAR" coins made of .999 silver that weigh a troy ounce (or more), though a 2000 issue was only .925 silver. As for the generic round, Fugio copy, I would say that as long as the word "Silver" appears along with ".999" and "One (Troy) Ounce", it's probably legit. I saw on another forum people discussing generic rounds that were silver plated copper, but those were not technically forgeries since they just said ".999 Fine, One Troy Ounce" and while they looked silver they didn't explicitly say it.
