  1. Wheat, I think this thread has really sparked my interest in Copper! I have always liked the Wheat cents and would always get excited as a child when I found one in my pocket change. I have a few Copper coins but I think I might start expanding my collection to start including more beauties like these! Great coins everyone!

  2. Try sticking a magnet to it, silver is not magnetic and I'm betting this coin is made of some sort of base metal.

     

    Well apparently, it is magnetic. So I'm giving to understand that it is definitely not a genuine 1804 Silver Dollar. Another question here, As silly as this may sound, is there any possibility that the coin is still a real coin but just a regular old coin. Perhaps one that happen to be minted in the year 1804? I'm trying to figure out that is there any possibility that the story being told to my friend is a true story, because he has dozens of US coins and to this date he believed that all of them are real US coins.

     

    No. This is not a real, or genuine, U.S. Minted coin. This coin was produced as a counterfeit to do what it has done already, to fool someone who is not knowledgable enough to know the difference. You're story is also quite difficult to buy, just like the coin. Any "coin expert" would know that this coin is a complete fake. I've only been collecting coins for a few years and although I'm not an expert, I feel quite confident in saying that it's not genuine.
