http://www.pcgs.com/cert/ but the numbers match because they just took the numbers off of heritage so you can't just go by that anymore, they have already gotten smart enough to use a coin of the same date and denomination to put in the fake slabs

I just looked up the date and mint mark on heritage and looked through the pictures and found the match. I looked at Heritage first because most of the fake labels I have seen either came from Heritage or Teletrade but mostly Heritage

Didn't I see an 1877 Trade dollar on another thread here just a few days ago? I can't find it now but I remember seeing it.... afernbaugh |

No, as I remember, it may have been a new purchase or trade. I remember thinking that something looked "hinky" about the coin....but I didn't reply to the thread.

I didn't see that one but I am no expert on these Trade dollars but I also think something looks a little off to me as well but can't seem to match it up with anything I have pictures of |

T$1 What is that?  Its fake alright. This is just another reason why I avoid ebay. I know there are some good sellers on ebay but I would rather just buy from places that I trust more. Is there anyway the guy that bought the coin can be informed that its fake?

T$1 just stands for Trade dollar, I think all the TPG's use that same abreviation on their slabs. Since ebay started hiding peoples user names with the *'s it is impossible to warn them that they just bought a fake coin in a fake slab |

The bidder of the auction placed a negative. Maybe he knew or he saw this thread?

very interesting that person only has 1 feedback and it was from a popular member on one of the biggest coin forums on the net. Maybe its one of his alter ego's or just another collector, but chances seem pretty good that either they knew when they bid or they found out before they paid. I just looked at his auctions all in NGC slabs and something doesn't look right about them either (even though the font looks right and I can't find the numbers on Heritage) maybe its just me knowing he had that one coin that was fake and in my mind it makes these guilty by association. According to heritage one of these in this grade sold for $5000.00+ and he is starting it at $199.00? just smells fishy to me

These crooks have stolen something from all of us. Acquiring a beautiful rare coin that you have wanted for years should be a time of joy and achievement. Now, those feelings have been replaced with fear and apprehension. So sad!
