cheungsta Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 08/08/2008 12:58 am LOL...I picked up a couple of these " Trade dollars" at the flea market (knowing full well that they were fake...I just wanted to have a couple examples of them...plus they were cheap)...also picked up a " Morgan dollar" from the same guy. They don't even come close to the correct weight (these fakes weight like 17.5grams where real ones should be 26+grams or something like that). Oh, and like everyone else has been saying, the design is totally off...both obverse and reverse. Another funny note...one of the " Trade dollars" I picked up was from the 1700s, with the same design as those from the 1800s! lol... Report this Post to the Staff

halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 08/08/2008 10:43 am When I first saw the question: Quote: What are the chances these Trade dollars are real? I have to admit I thought of the meeting of the long-lost Chance brothers: None meet Slim; Slim, None. Report this Post to the Staff
ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 08/09/2008 6:20 pm Another set of 6 Morgans has sold to a US dealer! I keep reporting these to ebay... Why don't they pull auctions?!? To their credit, they did pull the Trade dollars and "Liberty" Dollars. http://cgi.ebay.com/U-S-Morgan-Doll...es_W0QQitemZ 160270270074QQihZ006QQcategoryZ139812QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Report this Post to the Staff
