Hi, I need some help. I've got a Trade dollar 1870s and I'm wondering if it real because I can't find such a coin in ebay and it's written that Trade dollars start at 1873.

It is without a doubt fake since US Trade dollars were not minted until 1873. Feel free to post pics of it though because there are bound to be more inconsistencies besides the date and that would help you to identify fakes in the future.

I don't know if this would be considered a fake or a fantasy piece since there never were any of that date actually made but its definitely not a authentic Trade dollar

Check to see it it says: 'Made in China".
That would be a hint.

I would be funny if he had an honest to goodness
unique pattern Trade dollar from 1870!

Oh, and checking ebay for a coin's authenticity
is an oxymoron... NOT finding the coin in question
on ebay can be better news than finding it! Considering
all the fakes being fenced on that site at the
moment!
