Just a guess, but if the weight feels right, I'm guessing it's real.

Gradewise, AU58-MS60 and I almost never call a coin a 60. This one is BU (Beat Up) a tad too much in the fields for a much higher grade plus it has dipped-out white. What's the luster like?

The symmetry of this coin does not match the symmetry of images I'm looking at on websites with pictures. I question its authenticity. For example, "e pluribus unum" is displaced on this coin compared to other images I'm looking at...one example: the "n" in "unum" is directly above the beak on the online image....the "n" is hardly (directly) above the beak in your image.

I'm not liking the depth of the denticles ... they look shallow.

To me, buying uncertified Trade dollars on ebay is like playing russian roulette with one empty cylinder.
