You might be able to take a scale or a good strong magnet into a coin shop or antique store, but I do not think they will allow you to do an acid test in the store. Just my thoughts. I'm kind of uneasy on purchasing things from flea markets and online.
+1 on the scale - There are way too many fakes out there, they have even started "aging them" to look older. There's a place in town by me that gets coins every now and then, just had a Seated Dollar come in that looked legit but the weight was off. He said it was the best looking fake he ever saw.
