Hello folks!

A friend of mine has asked me to get some opinions on several coins that he has come across... there are some interesting ones, some of which, I believe to be counterfeit, and I will be posting several of them around the boards to get some opinions...

However, first up for your grade opinion, is this 1873 Trade dollar... your thoughts?

Not sure for sure what it is but it is not a U.S. minted Trade dollar.

The coin is a replica for a Pattern Liberty on a globe traded dollar. These pattern coins are worth about 2K+ if they are genuine. It is a poor counterfeit as the denticles do not show around the entire coin.

Below is an example of one that sold on Heritage for over 10K graded by NGC PR66:
