based on the color, some odd devices and one of my favorite tells, severe weakness in ERTY in the band and central hair/coin area. based on that and all i've seen, i'm not even messing with the date or mm.

Fake at first glance. And second, and third...

Fake, details are terrible.

Hydrant

Doesn't look right overall to me but I'm not an expert.....so?

MFeld

It doesn’t look even remotely genuine.

LeeBone

Me thinks not

BryceM

I'd probably catch this one, and that's saying something.

Bob, you're pulling our legs, right? That thing is horrible
first time I've seen one where the eagle has warts on its face.

I was messaging the seller and he was trying his best to understand and I got to a point where I needed confirmation by someone other than me. Thanks, yes it's a fake. He tested via specific gravity 10.6 and that would indicate 90% silver or so. We might be seeing new fakes coming from China that are in fact mostly silver......hope not.

Totally bogus

Kliao

Another vote for fake

I think it's real, the fact that it is magnetic is entirely coincidental!....lol

ricko

I have hear of other really obvious fakes passing the magnet test as well as registering as silver when tested by other means. Can those tests be fooled by a good silver plate or other means?

Yes, they can be thrown off. I have resorted to using a neodymium magnet for gold and silver. Scratch test will only test the silver plate. And Specific gravity will find brass and copper very easily but can be off on other heavier metals.
