That's all I have to say.

WACoinGuy

I don't know if I'd say that was AU-65 ... maybe XF-63.

messydesk

I wonder if he has any 1876 Morgans to go with it. Idiot.

Someone will buy it,.......just not me.

Could this be filled, milled and made to look normal by a competent silver smith?

OffMetal

Remind's me of PerryHall's post here

Yes, definitely money well invested. A competent silver smith could certainly correct that hole and make this coin look like a normal counterfeit POS.

slipgate

Counterfeit? Why do you think that? I thought the hole was what was keeping it low. The pics aren't great but the seller seems genuine enough. His feedback seems ok. Am I missing something? This guy sells a lot of collector type stuff and it seems likely that he got a hold of this one and it is legitimate.

Trade Dollars were first minted in 1873.
There were no 1871 trade dollars minted, only seated dollars.

At least thats what a trip to the PCGS coin guide tells me.

billboat

No Trade dollars made until 1873. Guess that's why this one is going cheap.

MORGANHUNTER2

That's the 'rare' and hard to find 1871 trade dollar, just ask TDN he'll tell ya that this is the most sought out fake one's can get a 'hole' of.

Hey maybe Thiggy or Lord M may like it!

slipgate

i sent him an email and he posted another blury picture but did correct the date to 1874...
