1. Has anyone seen a genuine Trade Dollar from a eBay seller in China?

   

   Discussion by PerryHall · November 26, 2006 7:13AM · Home› U.S. Coin Forum

   I've seen numerous posts concerning obvious fake Seated Liberty Dollars, Trade Dollars, or early dollars (Flowing Hair and Draped Bust) from eBayers in China. Do they ever sell real ones? Under the circumstances, a PCGS slabbed coin couldn't be trusted and I would assume the pic was stolen. Any comments?

   I purchased a genuine chopped marked T$ from China on ebay (sent it to ANACS). I sweated it out getting the coin then sending it to ANACS. Made a few bucks but wouldn't do it again.

   How did Longacre's quest for gold coins in China turn out?

   Yes, I've purchased a real trade dollar from a seller in China. I wouldn't recommend trying it, tho.

   << <i>I am recently back from 5 1/2 months in Macau, while there I traveled to China and Hong Kong and found cast forgeries of U.S. coins everywhere. I would not buy a coin from China without TP verification that it is real! >> There have been some pretty entertaining TPG slabs coming out of China as well as TPG CoAs.

   << <i>No Perry, not yet. They would be full of "CHOP MARKS" if they were genuine, wouldn't they ? >> I wouldn't be surprised if they counterfeited trade dollars and then take punches to add "real" chop marks to help make the coin look more real.

   I have purchased a couple of genuine Trade dollars from eBay sellers in China, but not recently. Almost all on Ebay currently are fakes and unless you really know what you are doing I would not recommend it. It's not worth the risk.
