I have seen a lot of reports that these are actually Chinese fakes and I think this is one of them. But your opinions would greatly be appreciated. Thanks Rough Details (did these in a hurry) Diameter : 37/38mm Weight : 25/26 grams (I don't have a decent scale) Thickness : 3mm Not Magnetic Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 12/13/2017 2:38 pm The design is the #2 pattern coin that was created for the selection of the Trade dollar. As noted the Chinese have issued a lot of counterfeits for this pattern coin. The pattern coins did not circulate and your coin is showing wear that most likely makes your coin a fake. You can compare it to graded example and you should be able to see the difference. Report this Post to the Staff
