Can anyone tell by the photos whether this coin is the real deal or a fake?

assuming the weight is spot on, size, etc...

Im no TD expert, is that the way these guys are supposed to tone?? (corrosion @ 1-2 o'clock)

Off hand I dont know the diagnostics to use.

Yes, it has the correct diagnostics for a real Trade Dollar. Looks correct to me.

Looks real to me, but I would weigh it - if the weight is OK I'd send it in for grading.

1877-S is a date commonly seen counterfeited.

STONE

90% sure it's real from the pic

Checking the weight is a good place to start. Most of the Chinese
forgeries come in around 22-23 grams. Should be 27.

From what I can see in the picture, there is nothing to denote it being a fake.

Looks right. The wear looks "just right"

DDR

I would guess real.

I have looked at several TD's recently - not an expert by any means... but this one looks real. IMO. Cheers, RickO

it is real, it just has a genuine "look"

I have a general rule about these:

If it's not in a pcgs-ngc-anacs holder, I stay away.
