Question
Hi my name is Reece Nortum I am a soldier in Afganistan I was digging through a old box of stuff in a market in the north east part of the country and I found a 1804 flowing hair siver coin i was wondering if there was away to tell it was real or what the story is behind this coin thank you for your time.

Answer
Unquestionably a Chinese counterfeit,the Chinese have been flooding the market with early American counterfeits for some time now,do not buy and gold coins or US coins over there much are not real or fake,the American public thoughts are with those serving over there if there are are any other questions you might have just let me know
