  1. Actually, I got them from a local fishermen who first tried to sell some hand made jewelry which I had no interest in. I was down on the beach when he approached me with a number of coins. Not having any knowledge of rare coins, I randomly selected some of the oldest coins as souvenirs. That was 3 years ago. I just put them in a drawer and forgot about them.
  2. Thanks for the info. I'm one step closer. None of my 3 coins stick! #1 is a 1794 flowing hair - #2 is a 1804 draped bust and the 3rd coin I have is a 1884 trade dollar! I am working on getting the weights and measures. I'll send pictures tomorrow.
  3. Thanks for the info. I'm working on the weights and measures. What kind of magnet? I'll send pictures tomorrow.
  4. True. But I read the early mints were imprecise. So I question how accurate the weights and measures really were until about 1797. U.S. Mint article made statement about inaccurate coinage.
  5. I visited a website, Spruce Crafts for a list of arrest silver dollar coins. If their top 15 list, I have 3 coins that are illustrated and described. I would gladly email pictures of my coins if someone can provide me an email address. I don't know how to send them otherwise. I would welcome a another opinion based on your visual inspection. Thanks! I am at silky68@yahoo.com
  6. Yeah, that's what worries me. I have a variety of coins, draped bust,flowing hair,liberty and peace dollars. I am convinced some are authentic. I've got one especially convincing coin, I will post pictures of the coins I have. I would welcome someone else to see them.
  7. A few years ago, I bought a variety of silver dollar coins in a remote village in the Philippines. After hours of visual comparisons with authentic coins, I can't see any distinguished difference in some of my coins. How can I get reputable inspections done?
