Hello,

My brother found an 1877 Seated Liberty One Dollar coin in an old shop, and presented it to me as a gift. It looks like the coin presented here; Liberty is seated on a rock with her right hand on a shield and her left hand holding a staff and pennent. The reverse has an eagle clutching arrows and olives branches. There is no motto above the eagle’s head. I have found mint dates of 1840 – 1873 and 1836 – 1891. Which is correct? Also, if you flip Lady Liberty bottom to top, the Bald Eagle is upside down. Is this correct, shouldn’t the top of the obverse be the bottom of the reverse?

Thank you for your time,
David

I have a 1848 seated liberty dollar minted cc, i took it to a coin shop and the guy said because a magnet stuck to it that showed it was fake. Is that true? If not what would be approximate value of coin.

Thank you for you time, will look forward to your reply.

Best regards, Joyce

I was in a souk in Riyadh Saudi Arabia and bought a number of Seated LIberty no motto dollars. They appear authentic.. However, one is 1840 with an obverse CC mint mark. I don’t believe Carson City was open then. Could some older coins have been restruck at Carson City or is this some type of fake?

Also have an 1848 with CC and an 1864 with CC.

Paid minimal price but am curious if fakes, reproductions or restrikes have surfaced in the Persian Gulf.

Thanks
jpa

Hello. A bum offered to sell me an1845 Liberty Seated with clear “liberty” across the shield, the words “one doll.” and a “cc” inscribed under the feet of the eagle. Additionally, the coin says’ “in God we trust” above the eagle. He wanted $10.00. I know nothing about coins, but believe I may have seen an ad on TV for some kind of coins. I offered him $4.00. It is in pretty good shape. If I can get $10.00 I’d be happy, but if it’s worth more, I will go back and give the bum more than he was asking. A lot more. My wife thinks it’s a fake. Thanks

Hi I have a 1858 seated liberty dollar and the coin guide that I have says its worth about $3,200 if it is a proof only. I read the article above but I am still confused. Is the coin worth that much? How do I tell if it is a proof?
