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.


How can you tell if a silver dollar is real?

You can use a magnet to check if a silver dollar is real - real silver is not magnetic, so if the coin is attracted to the magnet, it is not silver. You can also examine the coin for any seams or irregularities in the design that may indicate it is a counterfeit. Finally, have the coin authenticated by a professional numismatist or coin grading service for a conclusive evaluation.

Check for weight, sound (genuine should have a distinct ring), and details on the coin (look for any inconsistencies or irregularities). Use a magnet (silver is not magnetic) and conduct a nitric acid test (genuine silver will not react) to help identify counterfeit silver dollars. Additionally, seek professional authentication if unsure.
