You want to know what's wrong with it?

It's fake, that's what's wrong with it.

This appears to be an 1817 United States Trade dollar. Problem is, Trade dollars were made from 1873 to 1885.

to the CCF, Steve67. Were the other coins you bought also fakes?

If that was in the lot purchased, I have to assume all coins purchased will be fake.

Please show photos of the other coins you bought
and we can tell if they are counterfeit or not.
Hope you didn't pay too much for this lot.

@ Steve67 ..... to the CCF

Consider buying a Red Book, It can save you money on non-coin purchases like this. There's an old saying that comes into play here .... Buy the book before the coin.
