westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 04/21/2026 02:23 am "Looks" like a real Trade dollar to me! An in hand examination may yield a different verdict. A lot of these things ended up in the Orient in the latter part of the 1800's and were chopped marked to death in commercial transactions. Very collectible. If your not sure as to authenticity or just want professional opinion, send it in to PCGS, NGC or ANACS for TPG. It'll "details" grade because of the chop marks but still a cool coin!
