Real Trade Dollar? Grade?

Spartcom5 · January 17, 2018 4:01PM

Found this in a local ad and honestly I've never bought a trade dollar before. So i was wondering does this look legit to you guys? The reverse picture is completely out of focus. Theyre asking $150. Id think its about ef or a little higher?

Obverse looks counterfeit. The design looks crude. Compare the hand and the branch with images on the Internet.

Sorry, that's a fake.

Junk, ugly. You could find a decent VF real one, maybe certified it you look; try the ebay make offer to seller, you would be surprised how many people are looking to make a deal--the great American way.

Man you guy's have great eyes....I can't make out anything on the reverse do to the blurred photo. ....The obverse just don't look right to me.

Very poorly made fake. It's missing most of the fine details to begin with and looks like plated pot metal.

The story provided with the coin was that it was found while cleaning out grandpa's attic and it was in the bottom of a shoe box lolol. I knew something was up.

I'll bet it is magnetic. Just put a magnet in your pocket for times like this.
I always keep one in the glove box just in case.

Agree, fake fake fake. Dont need to see the rev for that.

Really, really bad fake. The rev photo is a lot easier on the eyes by virtue of being out of focus.

If you have to ask about that one, never ever buy a raw trade dollar

Received a message from the seller saying she sold it already for $150. Someone got screwed... She definitely knew it was fake as well with the whole bogus Grandpa story. I've been coming across a lot of fakes lately wow gotta be careful.
