I Don't Know how long you have been A coin dealer or been Detecting but I have seen allot of old coins come out of the ground and there shape and looks are all different and I can tell you its Real no Doubt about it some how I'm glad I don't have to come to you and have my coins checked out let you know right now one thing I cant stand is someone putting in there two cents and not knowing for sure what there commenting on but thanks for your Reply you got to find more older coins so you can really figure out the fake from the real people bringing coins to you is your expertise when there not fresh digs but from what I see Detected coins give you problems telling rather there fake or real Have A Great year PS I'm not Mad Angry about your input Just saying

I have found fake seated coins before (not detecting) and some of them look very good. Could you maybe try to take another picture? I would love to see it clearly in all It's beauty as the detail on it is amazing. 
It is an incredible find and I'm really happy for you. Please understand I meant no harm and would never say for sure unless I was 100% certain. That's why I said "might". I just like to caution folks, I wasn't trying to underestimate your knowledge. I'm just used to talking with people that have a very limited knowledge of coins (even other detectorists) and I spoke to soon. I should have inquired with you first before making a recommendation to double check it. My sincere apologies. 
....it's bad when you have that reputation...but I'd rather concentrate on finding the good stuff than taking a pic of it
just want to say thanks to everyone for there Replies on hear and all your info yes I agree there are allot of counterfeit coins out there and out of all the thousands of coins Ive found still haven't found that one I can ask Man I wonder if thats counterfeit cause all of them haven't been A possible rare or valuable coin theres only been one coin Ive found thats worth around 90$ it is A 1872 Indian head all the rest have been worth from face amount to 25$ or little higher and melt value most of us know that finding A rare coin will Probable never happen but that wont stop us from hunting I like sharing my finds on Detector Forums not to get any Replies on them but just to show everyone what great finds this Hobby of Ar's gives up and to see other finds people are finding cause as we all have seen when we post theres more Views then Replies now if everyone would Reply to all Post we would run out of room after a while and we would have to start A new forum
In colonial coinage up in our neck of the woods, we get a lot of counterfeits, usually Machin Mills, but some Geo II's too. I've found a fake Standing Liberty Quarter and a fake Morgan Dollar. Gave them to a friend that collects fakes. Ironically, it is the only old dollar coin I have ever found
And you're right. You just never know when something good is going to pop out. The day before I found my gold coin I was daydreaming and wondering if it would be a lifelong quest. And heck, I was BEYOND stoked when I found an 1897 full liberty barber quarter worth about $40 and a 1921 merc worth about $60. It doesn't take much to make me happy. A gram of silver or a wheat with some sunshine is okay in my book.
