    Hi, Ben. There is a texture in the field of the fake. The field of the genuine coin is smooth. *TYU*

    I got took on one of these last year a 1873cc. It was a very good fake. It was in that low Vf range and weighed 26.9 grams so it was in the correct range. Also it was silver and had the correct measurements. The denticles were a bit off though and the rim didn’t seem correct. Needless to say it came back Pcgs counterfeit. It was a amateur moment for me and embarrassing 🙈 I’ve learned my lesson at least and I’m very careful with Trade dollars

      So the value of authenticity is specific to where it comes from, sir

    I could tell in the first seconds of the video the 1878 was counterfeit. It's the pitting in the feilds and lack of detail that gives it away. It was copied from an original coin and you see the molding sand used when they did this in the coin.

    Indian silver and Indian gold is so beautiful; the craftsmanship is amazing! The designs are so elaborate and intricate.

    Informative video. There are so many methods of counterfeit. I'm not confident about detecting them reliability and stick with graded coins for that reason. Thanks.

    I thought you were pulling our leg when you called the Sigma an Omega. A sigma is a great investment for detecting fake bullion, but it can be used for coins too. Thanks for the tutorial!

    Seems to me that once you established that the weight was off it was Game Over for the counterfeit.
    You didn't even try a magnet test on it. Magnets being much cheaper than Sigma testing.

    Of course, the counterfeit wasn't struck, but cast, shown by all the raised bumps all over the surface.

    The rarer the coin the more likely the true metal will be used in a counterfeit.

    I knew Morgan’s are faked and now will be considerate of Trade Dollars. Any other commonly faked issues? Seated Dollars?
