Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6399 Posts	Posted 11/14/2022 9:01 pm The 1874-S is a common date among Trade dollars but is still worth a few hundred dollars in extremely fine condition which is where I would grade your coin. Trade dollar counterfeits are more common than genuine examples. Your coin looks OK but it could still be a fake. What is the weight? Does the coin stick to a magnet? These are basic verification tests you can perform. Report this Post to the Staff

This is my first trade dollar but I'm familiar with other silver dollars and foreign crown sized silver pieces so I know what to look for I can try to enlarge the pics but I'm restricted to mobile XD Report this Post to the Staff
Jakes Coins Pillar of the Community United States 735 Posts	Posted 11/14/2022 10:46 pm Without better photos I am skeptical of this dollar's authenticity. The odd weakness on the reverse is the main cause for concern for me. The weakness on the claw & very faint mintmark & "dirty" look are all characteristics of counterfeits. Without weight / better close-up photos I personally would not touch this coin. Also I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set \| Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better? Report this Post to the Staff

jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2221 Posts	Posted 11/15/2022 2:26 pm I feel that the date and the lettering on the reverse look odd. The characters are thicker and taller than other Trade dollars I've seen. Report this Post to the Staff
