ulm4lyf New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 02/09/2009 11:42 pm I have found an 1873 Trade dollar. I am aware that there are many fakes out there of this particular coin. I am not an avid coin collector but am interested in whether or not it is a real coin or a replica. Sorry, I'm html illiterate. :) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3339...7f75.jpg?v=0 http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3433...5f3a.jpg?v=0 Report this Post to the Staff

ulm4lyf New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 02/09/2009 11:53 pm I did put it on ebay, but got an email telling me it may be fake. The term the guy used was "fantasy piece". To me, a "fantasy piece" would involve a playboy bunny...or two. Anyway, my bad luck I guess. I will keep it anyway because it looks cool to me. Report this Post to the Staff

wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 02/09/2009 11:58 pm huh.... it is the pattern piece, but from the picture, it seems like a counterfeit. The minting quality especially on the globe on the obverse is horrendously bad. Report this Post to the Staff
ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 02/10/2009 01:17 am I agree that it's probably another Chinese counterfeit. Your pictures don't show the detail and/or lack of very well. Although they did make this pattern in aluminum and white metal, the chance of this being one of them is rather slim. Maybe that's what he meant by a fantasy coin! ;) Report this Post to the Staff
wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 02/10/2009 09:34 am OOOPS! I always forget to CCF I think it's a fake too. Try weighing it. If it's a pattern - big bucks! Edited by wwhitman 02/10/2009 09:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
