donnie13 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/03/2021 2:56 pm I acquired this coin as collateral from a friend whom I lent money to, I haven't found many of these online and I don't know much about the coin, as I am also new to the coin collecting world. Unfortunately I haven't been paid off by my friend and I might have to rid of the coin to get back what I gave to him, I am hoping this coin is worth $1,000 USD... because that was the amount of the loan. If someone with more knowledge could enlighten me on the possible value a coin like this might have, I would be very grateful, thank you :)[ Report this Post to the Staff

That Coin Dude Pillar of the Community United States 1427 Posts	Posted 03/03/2021 3:11 pm This coin appears to be a counterfeit version of an extremely rare coin. Search 'Judd-1315' to see genuine examples. A similar thread: http://goccf.com/t/302706 Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/03/2021 3:18 pm This is a poor counterfeit, worth nothing. Google "1873 Pattern Trade dollar - images" for pics of the real thing. Report this Post to the Staff
GMS5 Pillar of the Community Canada 1527 Posts	Posted 03/03/2021 3:19 pm Unfortunately I believe this one to be a counterfeit. The denticles on the OP's coin look completely different compared to 1873 T$1 Trade dollar, Judd-1315, Pollock-1458, R.4 Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21606 Posts	Posted 03/03/2021 4:07 pm Definitely a counterfeit. The stars are wrong The face is wrong The font on the reverse is wrong And these are just a few of the differences. Report this Post to the Staff
smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 03/03/2021 6:06 pm There is nothing on that coin that is even remotely close to right. Horrible counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 03/03/2021 6:58 pm Here is a genuine example, so you can compare. You are holding a coin that has no value. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/03/2021 7:29 pm If your "friend" can't pay you back, then I can only blame you for naively accepting something like this as collateral without doing your homework. Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 03/03/2021 7:41 pm Yep, looks like a cheap fake to me too (probably cast from the pics). Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7618 Posts	Posted 03/03/2021 8:29 pm Time for your "friend" to get a visit from "Guido and Vinny" to "discuss" the loan and collateral. Report this Post to the Staff
