Beware of Counterfeit 1879 CC Silver Trade Dollar

Here's an example of a Fake or counterfeit 1879 Carson City (CC) Seated Liberty Head Silver Trade Dollar.

There are plenty of things wrong with this coin, but the most important test it failed was the magnet test. See, if this coin is .900 Fine Silver, it shouldn't stick to a magnet. So did it stick to the magnet? Yes, and how! Fake. Chinese produced counterfeit.
