#2 is very bad. It took a couple of seconds longer.
Just let collectors know. The Chinese made and marketed a complete set of counterfeit Seated Dollars, including all of the dates and mints, and marketed that set in a fake Dansco album, several years ago. I saw one of those sets for the first time at a winter FUN show seminar. The pieces in it were of similar quality to what you see in this blog.

That's for sure!

<< <i>A good reason to buy slabbed examples. They really don't sell for all that much more than raw ones. Even if the coin is not fake, it's a big help in avoiding coins with overly messed with surfaces. >>
This is good advice. A great many Seated Dollars have been messed with, and some of them are actually attractive. This 1872 Seated Dollar was in the "first version" of my type set which I put together years before there was slabbed certification. It flunked when I sent it in for grading, although it did have a nice look to it.
It's better to buy a certified coin from the get-go and avoid the bother.

That's a fake? or just cleaned? Have you ever resubmitted it?

It is genuine. It flunked for unnatural color. When I was a dealer I sold to another dealer who was buying for a customer who was filling a 70-70 album.
