    OK. Is it real?

  • Yes I believe it's real because I've been collecting coins I'm into the construction industry and have tons of valuable coins but this one stands out the most had several opinions so was just asking around

    Without photos there is no way for anyone to give a realistic response.

    Such coins are heavily counterfeited.

    Believing something is real does not make it so. As already pointed out without good photos of the coin what do you expect anyone to say?

    Welcome to the forum.

    In addition to posting pictures it would be helpful if you’d edit your thread title to something far less vague and let viewers know what you’re asking about.

    What are some of the "several opinions" you have already received?

    90% chance that it's fake (he says without seeing it)

    My experience has been that very few people who say they have “tons of valuable coins” and, without including pictures, ask about them, rarely have pounds or even ounces of valuable coins. That’s even more likely to be the case when the coins haven’t been professionally authenticated/graded.
    It would be wonderful if you’re the extremely rare exception.

    Yes... although 10% was generous. That was one of the coins that was very commonly found in Southeast Asia souvenir bins. I've seen dozens of them over the years and none of them were real.

    Looks fake to me?

    @Roger1940. I hope you just made a posting error. There is no such thing as a Seated Dollar With Arrows. Arrows were only added to lower denominations such as say ; the Half Dollar?
    Perhaps that is what you mean? Other than that welcome to the forum and good luck with your collecting. James

    A lot of the South East Asian coins are historically inaccurate

    There is no such coin. Seated Dollars did not have arrows. Here is a photo.
