What is the value of a US 1865 Liberty Dollar coin?

Answer 1

If it's genuine, its retail value would range from about $300 if very worn up to $850 if almost uncirculated. However, the market is being flooded with counterfeit pieces mostly from the Far East. You would need to have the coin examined in person and certified.

All genuine and many fake 1865 dollars will have the seated figure of Miss Liberty on the front and an eagle with a shield across its chest on the reverse side; the word "dollar" will be abbreviated as "DOL."

There are also numerous fakes with a design crudely copied from the images used on U.S. quarters from 1932 to 1998. See the Related Question for pictures and a much longer discussion.

Please check your pocket change. ALL U.S. coins have always borne the word Liberty so this does not help to identify a coin.
