Other than the graffiti, I don't see anything wrong with it. Although it looks genuine to me, I'm always wary about raw Trade dollars. |

What is this crater/dimple to the lower left of the eagles' left-wing?
Also, the graffiti ziggzagg ("M") seems to be on top of the field? If that's the case, the die should have this ziggzagg?
Also, there is a "V" ziggzagg between the sheaf and the second last star on the right.

If it's genuine it's a details coin because of the damage.
You'd be better off buying a graded no problem coin.

I think it is a counterfeit

Comparing these images with those of genuine ones, it looks pretty good to me, but I yield to the experts.

I am by far no expert but it appears genuine to me. But like others have said leave it to someone that specializes in them. Pitty about the graffiti.

I too do not see any indication of it being fake. Looks genuine to me. Certainly a details graffiti coin and one I would pass on though.

Thanks all for the input so far - glad it it leaning heavily towards being authentic. Such a shame about the graffiti - I didn't buy it as an individual, it came to me as part of a collection. Assuming it is authentic (i'd hazard a guess at AU details if graded NGC/PCGS) - what would you estimate value? Maybe between $500 - 700 or so?

I wouldn't want to value a graffiti coin.

The graffiti lowers the value substantially and limits the buyer pool. Probably $500 or less is the right ballpark, unless you can find a buyer named Kip W!

Can't put my finger on it, but looks fishy. I'd have it authenticated. let us know!

Just a quick update on this one - came back from NGC UNC details, so I'm happy enough with that!
