This question comes up a lot, but if you think you actually have the 20th known example of this coin you don't. Just take it to any coin dealer or collector for an assessment. The 1804 Dollar is likely the most reproduced US coin there is.

How do you tell real silver?

You can tell if silver is real by looking for markings like "925" or "sterling" which indicate it is sterling silver. You can also test it with a magnet (silver is not magnetic) or perform a nitric acid test (real silver doesn't react with it). Additionally, genuine silver tends to tarnish over time, while fake silver will not.


How do you tell if a 1804 silver dollar is fake?

At the risk of sounding a bit snarky, the best way to tell if it's fake is to hold it in your hand. If it looks like an 1804 silver dollar, it's fake. The 1804 dollar is one of the most famous rarities in all of American coinage. All known specimens have been accounted for and are in museums or private collections. There are oceans of counterfeit ones on the market.

How can you tell if a silver dollar is real?

You can use a magnet to check if a silver dollar is real - real silver is not magnetic, so if the coin is attracted to the magnet, it is not silver. You can also examine the coin for any seams or irregularities in the design that may indicate it is a counterfeit. Finally, have the coin authenticated by a professional numismatist or coin grading service for a conclusive evaluation.

How do you know if you have a real 1890 silver dollar coin?

One way to tell is to check the weight. A genuine silver dollar should weigh 26.73 grams (slightly less if the coin is heavily worn). If the weight is significantly higher or lower, it's a fake.

How do you tell the difference between a real and fake 1851 indian head silver dollar?

No U.S. silver dollars have an Indian Head design, so if you have one it's not real. A genuine silver dollar coin dated 1851 would be a Seated Liberty coin. I have seen many 'fantasy' silver rounds with the Indian Head design with different dates, but they all have the 1oz .999 fine silver markings somewhere on the coin.
