<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rzage, post: 1115454, member: 14070&quot;]The weight could be right and still be a fake . That is if they use 90% silver and stamp the coins with dies . Yours looks like it was cast so the weight should be off . You don&#039;t have to learn every nuance of every design . There are telltale signs that a lot of fakes exhibit . Grainyness or pitting , tool marks that shouldn&#039;t be there , uneven reeding on the third side of the coin . Interupted reeding were the metal was fed into the casting . 2 good books to get you started are Counterfeit misstruck and Unofficial US Coins by Don Taxay , and Standard Catalog of United States Altered and Counterfeit Coins by V. Hancock and L. Spanbauer[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
