It would be more conclusive if you would post bigger pics.
But I do not have a good feeling about them.
I compared your coin to Heritage coin.
There appears to be some differences which would suggest counterfeit.
How did you come into possession of this coin?

It's almost certainly a cast counterfeit - the places on the obverse and reverse where the strike looks weak are classic signs, found on a large number of counterfeits and almost never on actual examples of this coin. Trade dollars are among the most popular of counterfeits, and it's likely that there are more counterfeits available than "real" ones.

That is certainly a very small price to pay for a valuable education, and you're doing the Coin Community family a service by allowing us to discuss this important topic in public again.

Welcome to Coin Community, and thank you for showing such an open and interested willingness to learn.

I'll agree its a fake, but I'm not so sure about cast. Cast TD fakes haven't been common for some time now.

Part of my thinking is the fact that he's in Europe rather than America. However, the more I look at the relatively-clean fields and what looks like rim crumbling on the reverse, the more I believe you're right.
