Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4398 Posts	Posted 11/18/2023 10:02 am The only thing I see that would give me concern of a counterfeit are the irregular denticles under dollar. The 77S is the most common date Trade dollar and the coin has a damaged rim, gouge, scrape on reverse, and looks like it could have been in the dirt. Pass. Report this Post to the Staff
