    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.

    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.

    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.
    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!
