UPDATE ON 1875 SEATED DIME!!!!

[Truth]

I called up my coin guy Mr Ray who is been in the coin business in my town for over 30 years. I told him that I found a 1875 seated dime and I think it's counterfeit. He told me it was probably real since they were so mass produce that year, but to come on by anyway. To his surprise it is a counterfeit and he said he's only seen 3 of those in the last 30 years. He was smiling like a schoolboy on Christmas it is a counterfeit and made of aluminum. He said he would've bet the farm that it was real and to look at it this way the odds of finding a counterfeit 1875 seated dime is crazy. Much easier to find the original. I should be proud. And that's the way I'm going to look at it lol l .

You were right

Counterfeit coin expert: "Period counterfeits were not made from Al. This one looks like a cast example using antimony. Antimony is quite brittle and these piece easily cracked."

I knew it couldn't be aluminum. It was hard to make during that time period.

UPDATE: I emailed a counterfeit coin expert and this is what he said "It is a contemporary piece which means made at roughly the same time as the date on the coin."

Yes! I love it
