I'm not an expert on this series, but I'm not sure about it being authentic.

The obverse portrait catches my eye - sort of cartoonish looking.

Can you post the weight and diameter?

I hope some experts weigh in with their views.

It weighs 27.2 grams on my scale. The diameter is right at 1&1/2 inches, which converts to 38.1 mm. I bought it from a dealer in Dallas many years ago and had a good conversation with about the authenticity. I felt good about it when I bought it.

At the potential value it may have, an independent professional opinion is entirely justified.

It may be difficult to sell, or even difficult to own,
without such an opinioin.

ANACS is considered a second level grading company. however, for the cost its the best value to authenticate a coin. Trade dollars are heavily counterfeited and it does require authentication if you plan on selling it at any point

i think yours is F15 with a value of about $300-350. you're looking at about $50 in fees. at PCGS you would be about $100 with a subscription and fees so thats probably not an option. NGC would be about $60 with their economy grading

Looks genuine, having it in a slab would be a plus.

It looks genuine. A Trade dollar is much easer to sell if it is in a TPG holder.
