Asking for a friend. Was found in a grandpas jewelry box.

Looks like a fake to me, so little to no value.

Kliao

Looks fake. Rusty too.

Absolutely fake. No doubt.

It is not a real US minted coin.
Counterfeit. Notice how the detils are non existent on a lot of the coin. Mushy stars and UNITED....Just a recently made Chinese counterfeit. You could check to see what it is made out of by doing a specific gravity test. If it's a 90% silver coin then the SG result will be a 10 or very close to that.

Here's a link on how to do one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_2vA1qO2fA

Let us know what you come up with.

Fake Trade Dollars from Asia started appearing in the US in the late 1990's. There are many, many of them out there.

That is harsh, it is worth a couple of bucks at a flea market.

You can see the copper in the pot Metal spotting
