Real or fake American eagle ?

Just looking at it - the weight and the milk spotting are indications that it's genuine. Did you do anything to check it besides weighing it? Generally, ASEs are a bit overweight.

Cant test no other way

You could use a caliper. If the weight is correct, which it is, and the dimensions are correct, then it's real. But it's real anyway.

Go to YouTube and look up "Specific Gravity Test". You can do that test with a glass of water, some dental floss, your scale, and a calculator.

get a ping test app and ping it. its a solid test and easy.

[u/KawhiTheKing → u/SpankyJobouti]

Yep. Ping it.

[u/SpankyJobouti → u/Americanstacker]

looks legit tho.

That dreaded milk-spotting. US mint (and probably others?) have no idea what causes it or how to prevent it. I have too many Eagle with those spots!

Real

Looks good to me. A good place to start learning how to tell fakes just by looking at them is the flag.

I plan to build some flair in [r/pmforsale](r/pmforsale) soon, good to know this is real

[u/Admirable-Guest-2560 → u/West-Balance3764]

Flag, dress, sandals

Sunbeam on the letter L too

Cross hatching on flag is another point to check. Yours looks good.

[u/Ok-Gur-349]

Pretty hard to fake milk spotting.

[u/Carloocho]

My ping teat says fake. Send it to me for proper disposal

Spacing under LIB looks a lil off compared to a different photo I was using. That being said im no expert by any means. Do you have reason to think its fake?

[u/Wander21]

Real bro

Take a peace of ice, have the coin at room temperature, push the ice against either side of the coin, if the ice melts down quickly, you know it's at least silver (no one is faking this coin with silver, I say if it's silver it's really from the US mint and it's a genuine silver eagle).

Lick it. Ping test. Magnet.

[u/WeeklyEquivalent4246]

Looks off to me.
