rownak19 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 04/13/2018 04:02 am Hey everybody. I'm new to this forum, I would request you to stay with me. I have a well worn Trade dollar which I found in granny's box. well weighted by 27 gram instead of 27.22 grams and edges also got worn enough. But I persume its well fitted counterfeit and cant be real one. But for learning I am giving picture for your comments. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by rownak19 04/13/2018 04:05 am Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4472 Posts	Posted 04/13/2018 08:40 am The coin is not a proof as the strike is poor. Note the denticles on the obverse are not prominent. I am not seeing a lot of wear on the coin more of lack of details in the devices that is typical with counterfiets. If the coin was geniune, it would be worth over a million dollars.

When compared to a genuine proof your counterfeit is a poor copy as there are many things that do not match the genuine example. Report this Post to the Staff
