<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 2698007, member: 84595"]Be very careful when purchasing these. Remember a Genuine silver dollar weighs 26.73 grams. If you weigh the pendant and it weighs 23 plus or minus grams with the soldered on bezel, you can be assured it is a counterfeit. It should weigh 26.73 minus a little wear plus the weight of this type of bezel at about 2 to 3 grams. I have many counterfeit and altered coins and have one of these which I use to teach collectors at shows or coin club meetings. You will also note that it does not have the correct diagnostics for the original silver dollar of that year although no mint mark might show. A previous poster noted differences in diagnostics ( suggest VAMWorld.com). If you buy it online, make sure the seller offers a return policy. If you are looking at it in an antique shop, just weigh it. Also ask about their return policy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
