Spence Moderator United States 34398 Posts	Posted 08/04/2019 08:56 am @CM, see below for a link to a real Trade dollar for comparison. Look, for example, at the bottom of the number 8 in the date: https://www.NGCcoin.com/coin-explor...coinid-17048 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

CollectionMaster Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 08/04/2019 2:23 pm Thanks everyone for feedback! Jimbuck - I wanted a second opinion before I bought it. I had my suspicions, but I'm not very knowledgeable in regards to counterfeits Report this Post to the Staff

This is no exception. Report this Post to the Staff

Bret Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 08/04/2019 9:14 pm Are y'all thinking that this is a modern counterfeit or a counterfeit from the times when Trade dollars circulated? If the latter, wouldn't it be worth something? Report this Post to the Staff
