1886 Seated Liberty Dollar – Copper Novelty / Fantasy Strike – "Copy" Marked
Offered here is an 1886-dated Seated Liberty Dollar design piece in a copper finish, clearly marked "COPY" on the reverse in compliance with U.S. Hobby Protection Act standards.
- Obverse: Classic Seated Liberty design with 13 stars and 1886 date
- Reverse: Heraldic eagle with shield, arrows, and olive branch
- Edge: Reeded
- Finish: Highly reflective copper tone
- Marked "COPY" to denote reproduction status
This is a modern replica / novelty strike, not an original U.S. Mint silver dollar.
The piece has strong visual appeal with mirror-like surfaces and bold detail, making it a display-friendly conversation item for collectors of:
- Fantasy strikes
- Replica coinage
- Type coin design studies
- Historical U.S. coin design art
Condition
Appears Brilliant Prooflike (BPL) with visible surface hairlines and light contact consistent with handling. No evidence of circulation wear typical of 19th-century silver coinage.
Important Note on Authenticity
This is not an original 1886 Seated Liberty silver dollar.
Original 1886 dollars were struck in silver (.900 fine) and do not appear in copper.
The "COPY" marking confirms this is a reproduction or fantasy piece.
