Check the weight. An authentic US silver dollar should weigh 26.73 grams. If the coin is heavily worn, the weight might be just slightly less.

How do you tell if a 1804 silver dollar is fake?

At the risk of sounding a bit snarky, the best way to tell if it's fake is to hold it in your hand. If it looks like an 1804 silver dollar, it's fake. The 1804 dollar is one of the most famous rarities in all of American coinage. All known specimens have been accounted for and are in museums or private collections. There are oceans of counterfeit ones on the market.
