None, the first Indian Head design was the 1854 Indian Head one dollar gold coin, the 1859 Indian Head cent was next, then the 1908 $10.00 gold eagle and the last was the 1913 Indian Head (or Buffalo) nickel. The design has never been used on a silver US coin.

How much is a 1851 Indian head silver dollar with full head dress worth?

No Indian Head silver dollars have been struck by the US. "1851 silver dollars" are well-known fakes made long after 1851. The Indian Head design is taken from the famous Indian Head cent that wasn't issued until 1859. The wreath design on the back is copied from a gold dollar issued at roughly the same time. In addition, the font used for "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" post-dates 1851 and no US coin ever had the country's name on both sides. Finally, a simple specific gravity or drop test will show that the coins are made of a base metal rather than silver.

The 1851 Indian dollar is a well known novelty coin (technically not a counterfeit, as there was no genuine version in the first place). It was made in China, contains no silver, and isn't worth anything.

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.


How do you know if a 1851 indian silver dollar is counterfeit?

The fact that you have one determines that it's fake. The Indian head design is borrowed from the penny minted from 1859-1909, which post-dates the supposed dollar's date of minting. Also, no genuine U.S. coins read "United States of America" on both sides. Genuine silver dollars from 1851 are the Seated Liberty design. What you have is a novelty, manufactured in China, and is made of a cheap base metal. It's not worth anything.


1851 Indian head silver dollar?

If you're wondering if this coin exists, it does not. Otherwise, you have it confused with a liberty seated dollar. This coin was designed by Christian Gobrecht. It weighs 13.36 grams, has a diameter of 30.6 millimeters, and is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper.MoreThese coins are well-known fakes made long after 1851.

What is a value of an 1851 silver dollar with apache on it?

From your description, this is a known privately made novelty piece. It is NOT an official U.S. Mint issued coin. A real silver dollar dated 1851 is a Liberty Seated dollar. The obverse of the coin has the Indian head design that is similar to the Indian cents of 1859 -1909. The reverse has the denomination of 1 dollar and the date within a wreath. It has no numismatic collectible value.


What is the value of an 1851 Indian Head dollar?

There were two types of dollar coins struck that year. Neither one carries an Indian head design. The large silver dollar carries a Seated Liberty image, while the small gold dollar carries a Liberty Head image. What you have is a well known novelty/fantasy piece. The 1851 Indianhead dollar isn't a counterfeit because there was never a real version produced by the U.S. Mint. They're made in China, contain no silver, and aren't worth anything.
