UPDATE UPDATE: 1875 Seated Dime

[Truth]

Finally realizing it was counterfeit I was curious what was it made of, which I thought it might be aluminum because I wasn't sure when it was made, and when was it made? So I emailed a counterfeit coin expert and this is what he said,

"Period counterfeits were not made from Al. This one looks like a cast example using antimony. Antimony is quite brittle and these piece easily cracked. It is a contemporary piece which means made at roughly the same time as the date on the coin."

Yes! I love it

My coin dealer said he's only seen 3 in 35 years. When I told him on the phone I think it's counterfeit he said he would've bet the farm that it wasn't. He was so surprised it was, when he saw it, he was smiling ear to ear.
