Yes, the dentiles on the obverse look bad. It is more than likely a counterfeit, and it does not have much eye appeal even if it is real. Here is a piece of advice. Don't buy raw Trade dollars. Don't even think about it. Have a happy life as collector and buy them certified. Is saving a few dollars really worth it when you can lose every dollar you spend? |

Hi, I'm new to this forum and have been collecting Coins / Notes for some years now, I have a 1876-s Trade dollar in my collection which I am convinced is a fake due to the Silver being tarnished and revealing Copper beneath, It weighs 27.2 grams and it is NOT magnetic, Am I correct in believing it's a Fake or am I wrong? Thanks in advance to any info provided!    |

Silver plated Trade dollar with copper at its core, none was ever made at those time, so you can be sure its fake! |

I also have a raw 1877 S I believe in my type set. I bought it from typecoin whom I trust and I also got it verified from my dealer and he said it was a very nice original mid VF piece.

So do I keep hold of it or do I throw it in my Copper Scrap bin, Not sure if it would be illegal to do that as I'm not an American Citizen but I do know that their would be consequences if I tried doing that with our own Copper Coins here in the UK...? Appreciate the quick responses guys! |

If it gets destroyed, then it is good. You may want to deface it with something just in case.

For future notice, aj_stranger_uk, you should start your own topic, instead of building off of an older one. That way it gets more attention.
