The 9 looks like the wrong type to me also. I'd watch this one in amazement, not bid unless you are collecting counterfeits. nlp Report this Post to the Staff
DavidZerbato Pillar of the Community United States 1081 Posts	Posted 01/12/2011 11:01 am I looked at his feedback number and immediately became suspicious. I don't know anything about Trade dollars or their patterns, but due to the extreme rarity of this coin and his feedback, I would stay away unless you are confident enough in your skills to ensure it is the real deal. I see that he does offer a money back guarantee, so you could potentially bid and examine the coin yourself, I guess that's up to you.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/12/2011 1:29 pm From the way the coin looks I'd say it is a Chinese counterfeit. Denticals are bad, color is off, and the strike weakness is off for a US mint issue. Report this Post to the Staff
