MartiVltori Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 11:24 pm I picked this up on a whim at the local coin shop a couple weeks ago. Ancients are my main thing so this is not my area of expertise. Anybody see anything obviously suspicious about this dollar? I know the pics aren't the greatest. Thanks in advance.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/21/2012 01:03 am Take it to your nearest dealer who may have another Trade dollar, and do a comparison ring tone test together. Weight and diameter are obvious tests. I doubt if a forger would bother to present a tradie with this much wear. Report this Post to the Staff

ldhair Valued Member United States 115 Posts	Posted 09/22/2012 08:05 am Wonder why the reverse, the date and "IN GOD WE TRUST" don't show the same amount of wear. It's also interesting how the water stops short of her legs. I'll look for something with this same wear pattern. Report this Post to the Staff
