I remember watching J. P. Martin discussing a "bell-like tonal quality" to genuine coins in the ANA video, but I don't think he ever referred to a "bing."

Not just that,


<< <i>When you rotate the coins from obverse to reverse, is the reverse EAGLE opposite of Liberty? if yes, It is Genuine! >>


Ok, yeah; they have reproduced a valuable coin; but NOBODY could fake the orientation of the reverse to the obverse! This has got to be good!

Geez, I've been doing it wrong all of these years........

2. The trade dollar's composition is 88% silver and 12% copper.

Dang-- all mine have 2% too much silver in them.

Swell. Now I've got to pull out all my trade dollars and blow 'em??

If it goes BING, does that mean it's cherry?
Or possibly it could be cherrypicked...
