Counterfeit 1858 seated liberty quarter?

[umrgolf]

I dug this last year and just dug it out of some junk.. I just wanted to know if anyone's ever seen silver do something like this? I'm 99% sure its a fake but again, I don't have any counterfeit coins that I know of so, I'd like to be certain. Thanks .. Jeff

Yep, would have been plated back in the day. I think I'd rather find that than a legit one.

Ok, that makes sense.. I was so mad when I dug it! lol, I yelled over at my partner "hey man, just got a seated quarter!!" when i started cleaning it up, well, it never would clean up I kept thinking 'what the hell is wrong with this coin??' Thanks IP

That will prepare you for the gold one should it happen, seen plenty posted over the years. I like counterfeits but mostly the older stuff. As I said I think it's a better find than just an average dug seated.

In a way it's kind of a relic from the era. I bet if everyone on the forum was to spend a little time reading about 18th and 19th century counterfeiting there would be a new found appreciation when one was posted. Too many times people group these with modern copies and that shouldn't be the case.

This is a good find--and a rarer find than a real Seated Quarter. A good, old counterfeit can be worth the same amount as a real dug coin. There are folks that collect period counterfeits.

It would occupy a proud place in my collection anyday.


Cheers,
