How can you tell a 1794 Liberty flowing hair Silver Dollar is fake?
Lakramer35
This is certainly far from the only way of spotting a fake but as a rule of thumb they should not be magnetic. Silver and gold are non-magnetized, so take a strong magnet and hold it over the coin/item. If you feel a pull or if it sticks it is not genuine, it must contain some zinc, nickel or other filler. Local coin shows or antique shops usually have someone who is educated and willing to help for little to no cost.

If you go by the strict definition of "Liberty dollar" (i.e. a silver dollar made from 1794 to 1935) the answer is yes - these coins are 90% silver and 10% copper. But many people mistakenly call newer $1 coins "Liberty dollars" because they either have the word Liberty or a picture of the Statue of Liberty on them. These coins are either copper-nickel or brass, but not silver.
