This one seems to have a much higher date then all the others I have seen. Finish is a bit off too.

The date will not be touching the ground upon which Ms. Liberty is seated.

Search on "1872 replica" in the Seated Dollar category, and I bet you will find other people selling the same exact fake from the same casting operation.

Fake. Possibly originated in China.

If it's on Ebay, and it's a trade dollar or seated dollar and it's raw, there is a 97.39% chance that it's fake.

A guy brought one of these exact same fakes into the club meeting last night

Nice catch on the positioning of the date. Note the date on mine.

Hmmm, appears to be about as real as the tooth fairy.

Sadly, the percentage of fake slabs is rising as well, and not only from sellers in China.

if a cast copy why would the date be so far off?

Yes i do.

Seated dollar + Ebay = Fake, 99% of the time... I just hit sort by price and anything under $350 i don't even bother looking at. Even those above this level get a serious look before any consideration is given. I think i've found one i've liked on ebay in the last 4 years.
