Is Your Silver Eagle Coin a Fake or Counterfeit?

Collecting silver coins is a serious hobby for many collectors worldwide and to serve these people there are various silver coins for sale at reliable, honest numismatic marketplaces like Boost Silver and other web pages where coin sellers and coin buyers meet.

Unfortunately there are many silver plated or lesser-metal counterfeit coins currently being sold online (various “silver dollar” coins for example). These counterfeit coins are sometimes of such good quality that it is very difficult to identify them as a counterfeit coin if you are not a coin expert.

The big problem with buying coins through the internet is that you cannot touch the coin and must judge the quality and authenticity of the coin from an image and description provided by the seller. That makes it very risky to buy coins online if you do not know the reputation of the seller who is offering the coin.

Knowing what you want to buy and having specific coin knowledge and relevant data at hand, like the weight and size from that specific silver coin in combination with the seller’s reputation can give you an advantage in buying these specific coins online.

Here is a close-up picture of a real 2007 One Ounce American Silver Eagle Coin, showing the details of the engraving, also here is a link to the exact coin specs.
