1926 Peace Dollar - Liberty Dollar

 

I think that from all years the Peace Dollar was struck (1921 -1928) (1934 -1935) there are Chinese made counterfeit peace dollars in circulation. Most of these counterfeit dollars, like the one we are showing on this page, are made from copper with a very thin silver layer. We used some silver dip on the counterfeit coin to show you that copper layer.  We said most counterfeit coins as we have also one which has been mode from a sort of composite metal which does not show a lower layer when polished.

When comparing these 1926 peace dollar pictures, the following differences can be noticed on the counterfeit coin and not on the authentic 1926 peace dollar.
  • The numbers are totally not the same, not even one comes close.
  • The small letters with the text "IN GOD WE TRUST" are not the same.
  • Very soft details (head of liberty) and slippery surfaces in general.

The reverse side of the counterfeit 1926 peace dollar was having very slippery details. What can be noticed also are the 2 dents at the eagles tail. These dents are probably caused by the Chinese coin dies who weren't that perfect.
