A genuine U.S. silver dollar dated 1935 or earlier should weigh 26.7 grams, or slightly less if it's heavily worn. Also silver is non-magnetic, so a genuine coin won't stick to a magnet.

How would you know if 1796 silver dollar is fake?

There are a few tests to see if a silver dollar is fake. The first is to match up the details with a known authentic coin. While there are many varieties of silver dollars for that year, one with a completely wrong type (such as a trade dollar, or Morgan dollar) you can immediately dismiss the coin as a fake. The second thing to do is to look at the edge of the coin for lines where the coin might have been cast, genuine coins are struck, never cast. The next way to see if it is genuine or not is to weigh it and measure it. A fake coin made out of a material other than silver will either be overweight or underweight or will have dimensions that don't work such as being thicker or wider than a genuine coin. Another way to see if it is a fake or not is to take it to a reputable coin dealer who can usually tell if its fake or not in a second or two. Also, make sure the coin doesn't have "COPY" stamped on it, reproductions since the '70s have to have "COPY" stamped on it somewhere, however, reproductions made before the '70s, or counterfeit coins meant to deceive collectors, won't have it on there.


How do you differ fake from real 1843 Silver dollar?

If it has a motto on the back (the banner saying in god we trust) then its a fake. If its magnetic its fake. If it has a ridge running all the way around the center of the reeded edge the coin it is fake. If the denticles are not all symetrical its fake. Lastly, a real 1843 silver dollar weighs 26.73 grams and has a diameter of 38.1 mm. Anything other than that is a fake.

How do you tell the difference between a real and fake 1851 indian head silver dollar?

No U.S. silver dollars have an Indian Head design, so if you have one it's not real. A genuine silver dollar coin dated 1851 would be a Seated Liberty coin. I have seen many 'fantasy' silver rounds with the Indian Head design with different dates, but they all have the 1oz .999 fine silver markings somewhere on the coin.

No, it's not a fake, but it's not a coin, either. It's an ounce of silver bullion minted by a private manufacturer. See the Related Question "What is the value of one troy ounce of .999 fine silver?" for more information.


What is the value of a 1932 Morgan silver dollar?

Please check your coin again. Morgan Silver dollars were minted from 1878 to 1904 and in 1921. No Peace dollars were minted in 1932 due to the Great Depression. If you have a U.S. $1 coin with that date it's a fake. If you have another denomination coin such as a half-dollar, please post a new question with more details.
