About as real as my chances of getting a girlfriend

All jokes aside, it's a very poor quality fake. Comparing it to any image of a genuine example shows the difference.

Fake pattern Trade dollar, somewhat interesting in it's own right.
I would really like to have a look at much sharper pictures with this coin, to be 100% sure.
-----Search Google Images:
-----'Pattern Trade Dollar', you will see what I mean, and give yourself a much better shot at a fair comparison.

All the same, it would be nice to know what it's weight and diameter happen to be. Seems to have some luster, which suggests that it has been die struck, and not pressure cast.
I would still be happy to include it in my 'black' collection of fake coins.

A modern fake. Probably no silver in it.
