182006962790 No idea here. Detail looks off to me but the toning and color looks fine. Very VERY vague title & description. No returns too.

The very poorly formed denticles make me think it is a counterfeit (very typical of counterfeit coins, and not on genuine coins).

Seller also selling a restrike/counterfeit M.Theresa.

Compare the detailing on the eagle's wings (reverse) to a real coin. Not even close.

Let's compare mintmarks.

Coin in question.

Counterfeit-1876-CC-Trade-Dollar?

Genuine certified by PCGS.

Counterfeit-1876-CC-Trade-Dollar?

What I see:
a difference in the height of the mintmarks
A difference in the thickness of the mintmarks
A difference in the size and shape of the space inside the mintmark.

Conclusion: counterfeit.

TC you're comparing a type 1 reverse to a type 2. There may be differences.

I forgot that 1876 T1/T2 were a thing. This seems to be of a T1/T1 marriage.
