Best Answer

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.

Such a coin is not an official mint product and therefore it is impossible to tell what it is made out of. To find out what it is made out of, either go to the manufacturer's website or ask a reputable coin dealer or jeweler to see if it is silver and what purity of silver it is.

Is a two headed 1974 Eisenhower dollar fake?

That could be a very rare coin. Take it to a coin dealer to have it appraised. Call them first and ask. Do not tell anyone you have it. Virtually EVERY double-headed coin that turns up in circulation is a fake. They're called magician's coins and sell for a few bucks at novelty shops. If your coin makes a hollow or dull sound when clinked on a table it's a magician's coin.
