MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 09/11/2022 8:48 pm I spotted this coin on the bay and it just doesn't look right to me. The PCGS examples all show a type 1 reverse for this date but this coin has a type 2 reverse. Aside from that the central devices just have a mushy look to me, especially miss liberty's head. What do the experts with these Trade dollars think? https://www.ebay.com/itm/255709339854 Report this Post to the Staff

Jakes Coins Pillar of the Community United States 735 Posts	Posted 09/11/2022 9:15 pm most likely real, I am pretty sure the 1875 s Trade dollars did have a type 1 & 2 reverse. I think this seller highly docters their photos and doesn't sell very nice coins and would avoid them. note the 250+ revised feedback I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set \| Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better?

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 09/11/2022 9:24 pm Appears genuine. These are doctored photos and would recommend to avoid this seller.

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 09/11/2022 9:31 pm Thank you for your candid replies. I did read some more about this date and while 90% of these are type 1 obverse and type 1 reverse, it appears that a small number were made with the type 2 reverse late in the production and those type 2 dies were not used extensively. The type 2 reverse is considered quite scarce or even rare. I'll keep searching for the right Trade dollar to add to my collection. I already got burned with a bogus one some years ago so I think I should probably stick to a slabbed coin anyway. Thank you for your input. Report this Post to the Staff
