Subject: US silver coin

Question
I'm interested if you could tell me where this coin comes from, what was and what is its value now? If the identification neads any other specifications about the coinplease contact me!
Thank you for helping!

Answer
Hello Balint,

From the photo, it certainly is a counterfeit 1797 US Silver Dollar.  The front and back designs do not match what a genuine 1797 coin should look like.  The front is OK but the back is the design that was adopted in 1798

There are many counterfeit coins coming from Asia, and a lot of them make there way onto eBay.  If you are a collector, only buy from a reputable dealer.  If possible, buy NGC or PCGS certified coins.

Regards
