Hello all;
I was in a Dallas gol and silver exchange store today just browsing. they had a 1877s Trade dollar. From looking at pics in a coin book it looked real, was in vg to fine condition. Price was $149.00. Man I almost bought it but am so leery of fakes in this particular coin. How common are real ones and if real would that have been a good price? I couldn't take a pic of it, and the clerk didn't know they had it. she said if I didn't buy it she was getting it for her husband.

Checked the NGC price guide. It says $140 for VG and $160 for F.
I'd say that it was only an OK price at $149.

Check out pics of both genuine and counterfeit Trade dollars, to determine its authenticity.

These are notorious for being faked. Why not just buy one already in a TPG holder.

Thanks
I'm really just trying to start a collection of Morgans, but may buy other Dollars if the price is right was the only reason I was looking at it. Thought it looked cool though. Thanks for the replies.:)

For some info http://www.coincommunity.com/us_coi...ar-trade.asp
And for info on price: http://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/...-48-desig-ms
As regards to determine if it is a fake or not, apart from inspecting the coin closely and knowing what a real one should look like it's best to buy from a reputable dealer and/or a certified coin.

$150 retail for a non certified 1877s sounds priced right.
