AureliusMoore Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 4:12 pm I picked up this 1878 S Trade dollar today for a pretty good price. It is beat up but I think it is real. What do you guys think? Is it real or fake? Edited by AureliusMoore 10/21/2015 5:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

picc Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 8:14 pm I agree that it is real. Most of the fakes have a bubbly surface from being made from a mold and not struck like the real ones are. Report this Post to the Staff
