I read there are two die types for both the obv and reverse
and and for this year they made both.....


Starting in 1877, the year of this Trade dollar, they made ONLY type 2 obverse and type 2 reverse (which this coin has).

The dates were hand engraved, so there could be differences between dies as to date position, however the rest of the coin should match.

The areas that I notice quickly on this coin that could be of concern on the obverse are the weakness of the wheat stalks near where they are tied together and the graininess of the flat areas around Lady Liberty particularly around her outstretched arm; and on the reverse the weakness of the arrows, the weakness of the eagle's tail and the weakness of the denticles on the lower right side of the coin.

As NSS-52 notes the date position could be different between dies. There are a number of known varieties within the type 2 obverse and type 2 reverse on the 1877 S as Breen identified 5 different varieties.

One of the problems I find with Trade dollars and detecting counterfeits is the lack of documentation available on the different Trade dollar varieties within the type 1 & 2 obverse and type 1 & 2 reverse.
