It's essential to have it in the title. * Howdy, long time lurker, first time poster! I recently received an 1877 S Trade dollar from a respected dealer. I've been looking it over carefully as most of these things are counterfeit and noticed a line going through a denticle, wondering if this is just a micro fracture in the die? It's a Type 2, looks quite authentic but I'd sure appreciate a second opinion. How does this coin look to you? Edit by staff: Scope image removed. We do not allow photos of your scope.

If you do purchase a CC date Trade dollar, best to buy in a major TPG holder form a trusted dealer. Report this Post to the Staff
