Look closely, very closely at the picture and tell me which side the American Silver Eagle is on.

<< <i>Never saw a dateless ASE yet. The one with a date does not look right
That's what I thought. The date on the 1996 sits in a "clouded field." That doesn't make sense to me. Dates normally sit right on an unobstructed field. But, I don't look at these very often. If fake, it's a magnificent one.
Both have fingerprints though.

Cuz it's a proof coin.

The bullion coin from 1996 is worth about the same as the proof. The item on the right, I suspect, is worth about silver price , plus or minus a couple dollars. Without a test, I'm merely going by what my eyes perceive and what I've read. And my momma said "Joey, don't believe anything you read and only half of what you see "
In short, I chose the LEFT in this poll. That's right. (see proof in hand for actual details)

Some guys forget how to log out, but we all like to participate at some level when we log in.
I typically use my backspace key a couple times per sentence. (editing typos)
one with date and one without date!
even a fool should be able to see that, but not all.
<< <i>The one on the right is totally bogus...Cheers, RickO >>
yes totally bogus.

It's the choice to skip the poll
thanks for all those who chose to participate, even you, Braddick!!
<< <i>What's the point of this exercise? Seems like it might be worthwhile if you asked 20 random people on the street since these are the kind of folks most likely to get duped if they were buying silver. >>
The point is: Silver won't get up.
<< <i>most understood the point of the thread but Tomthecoinguy apparently chose not to respond, though I suppose he may be one of the "right" choice guys. the other three, either a mistake or to intentionally skew the results. I doubt any rational person with only a modicum of research would determine the wrong answer.

It was my coin, and my silver round so it would not have been fair for me to participate, since I am the only one that has seen them in hand.

I would say it is a viable asset to our YN out there that might get duped instead of just random people on the street. I get that from this thread, help for the younger crowd. Kris

How many of them would even see it? It sounds a lot like those NRA surveys of members that tell the NRA over and over and over again what they already know. I would hope everyone here would be able to see the difference/s between the 2 coins, but if you put a date [even 1985] in the proper place on the coin on the right you could fool a hell of a lot of people.

Haha, touche'. Very good answer.
Well it looks as if the age of political correctness has arrived.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
<< <i>I am shocked that the obvious American Silver Eagle is the one on the left...

No-one should be shocked.
the reverse is even more starkly obvious and the diameter is wrong. an ASE is 41mm and the other looks smaller in the picture, probably a typical silver round at 39mm. the two aren't even close. it paints a sad portrait of our Judicial system but in view of the old McDonalds coffee case nothing surprises me anymore.
+ 1
I'll pay the same $16.17 cents for either. I'll be happier owning the one on the right though so I don't have to try to figure out what the phantom premium should be .
