1804 Silver Dollar Draped Bust

BrackAttack

Hello,
I know this coin is very rare! I have one and think that it is genuine. I purchased the coin in Thailand when I was over there on vacation from working in Iraq. I only purchased the coin because of the date. Finally did some research on it and let me just say WOW. Never new about all the history on this coin. I have pictures of the coin and would love for some one to tell me if it's real, fake or if it's a Class I, II or III. The coin has wear and tear as if it's real. Let me know if you'd like to see it and give me some feedback on this coin I have, but you have to give me some feedback. Very interested in coins now!!!

Thanks,
Roland

Hey, Brack,

Wrog forum, but without seeing your photos, I can tell you with greater than 99.999% certainty that your coin is not authentic. If you post a photo, we could probably get that percentage up to 100%.

There are many, many Asian counterfeits of US coins, especially silver dollars. You have a better chance of finding a PSA10 Nolan Ryan in your garbage disposal than you do of happening upon an authentic 1804 silver dollar in Thailand.

Post the pictures here.
This says it all: I purchased the coin in Thailand. RYK has said it.

It is a guaranteed fake. All of the real 1804 Dollars are accounted for.

Being as the 1804 dollars were made clandestinely, we can't know they are all accounted for. The known ones can be however.

Given the circumstances, this one would most certainly be a fake.

I have a Mona Lisa. I bought it at a yard sale, but I know it is the real one that was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci.

Alright, already it's a fake like I said I only bought it because it was cheap and because of the year. I'm into sportscards not coins. Sorry for posting it. But, can I ask you guys have you ever seen or touched a counterfiet 1804 silver dollar. I bet most of you haven't even done this but can with out even seeing it say its a fake. Why don't some of you furnish some pics of the counterfiets because I surely can't find any on the net.

Thanks for letting me post,
Roland

Do a quick look on ebay. You should land a few.

how wrong you are...MY Mona Lisa is the real one. Got it at the Flea Market. I sure ripped them off!

Actually I have seen a fake 1804. This was a low quality fake, not sure who they were trying to scam, that had casting marks all over it. Bubbles, extra metal around the edge, etc.

They aren't that difficult to spot. Sometimes it does take a trained eye.

For future reference. A majority of stuff coming from overseas is going to be fake. Right down to the "silver" bullion. Search around the forums and you'll see you aren't the first to be ripped off.

Man...that Da Vinci must have been busy! I have one of them there "genuine" Mona Lisa Paintings hanging in my garage. It's a beauty next to my 1973 Gremlin.
