  Seller in Asia. Coin is raw. Not even Ebay. Ridiculously all wrong.
  
  Heck no!

  You shout in your sleep.
  Perhaps the price is just too steep.
  Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test?
  You awake with a start to just the beating of your heart.
  Just one man beneath the sky,
  Just two ears, just two eyes.

  I know its a fake, but the buyer specifically states
  
  "This 1875s Trade Dollar coin is genuine.
  I do not sell counterfeit and I will refund your money
  if this coin is counterfeit
  
  Bid with confidence.
  Check the feedback left by my customers."
  
  
  This seller has perfect feedback, so I can see someone falling for this fake fairly easy.

  Why not buy a trade dollar from Singapore? That's where the factory is.

  This auction is now up to $650 with 4 days to go. The bad photos scare me enough and its an obvious fake. $650 can get me a nice certified PCGS coin or more so why blow it on this. I dont get it.

  I wouldnt buy it for more than $20...........and even then I would sooner take a modern AH Kennedy in cameo over that.......or just some other nice cameo...........man what am i stooping to.....I started liking Kennedies...........toned of course.

  Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

  On the second thought, this 1901 eagle he sold previously is so obviously genuine:
