To coin collectors - does this coin look fake?

[Daniela1982]

Looks odd to me. Yet someone wants $850.00 for it. 😕

Some coins are worth a lot if they were minted and they had an error from the engraving on the coin. I’ve seen those go for that price. Also if they only made so many for that particular year it would also have value obviously.

Looks like it is a native American dollar coin. Which is fine. Except the coin is worth maybe $8.

[Daniela1982]

But it looks like it is made out of brass, like something Temu would sell.

[JacobJordan]

Well it is an actual coin and you are quite right. It is made out of brass. More specifically manganese brass which is a blended alloy. www.usmint.gov/.../2010-great-tree-of-peace this is the register of the coins existence as a minted coin.

Why do they want that much for a worn out Sacajawea coin? I have a bunch of those in uncirculated condition and they probably aren’t worth much more than face value

[Daniela1982]

They think it has some mint errors on it. It doesn't as the date was not on the coin but on the rim.

[Likes2drive]

You’re right, it’s only the rim

is that the silver dollar that was a little bigger than a quarter that nobody wanted to use?

[Daniela1982]

Yes. But they also had dollar coins with the presidents on them. You never see any in circulation though.

@daniela1982 I have a silver dollar that belonged to my father. It is huge. That was when a silver dollar looked like a silver dollar.

[Daniela1982]

Yes, but no one wanted those big coins. Do you remember the last time you saw an Eisenhower dollar coin?

They did not make a lot of them. If they took them in vending machines and self checkout machine they would catch on. Especially since a candy bar costs 2 bucks today

[Daniela1982]

They did have vending machines that accepted the $1 dollar coins but no one ever used the coins.

[exitseven]

People used to use them when I was a kid. The JFK half dollar was popular as well. The fake silver dollar got mixes up with quarters all the time so nobody wanted to used it

Sacajawea dollar. Good quality, tops. No big deal!

But, there's a sucker born every minute.

[jamesgoldman]

Looks real but it's not silver or gold so it's not in my interest

[Siri137]

Is that Greta Thunberg?

[Daniela1982]

More like Re-Greta. 😂🤣

Sacajawea
