US Trade Dollar Pattern (Counterfeit) 1873

Sure enough, Chris, that's a Trade Dollar pattern coin form 1873. If it were genuine, it would be worth a bundle. Bowers and Merina (now Stack's Bowers) had one at auction a few years ago, and it sold for more than $2000 US dollars.

Very likely you have a replica coin like the one in the picture from eBay seller ixwisdom. These are worth a few dollars.

If you think you might have a genuine coin, you should have it authenitated, graded, and encapsultated by PCGS, NGC, ICG or ANACS. That will settle the genuine-or-not argument once and for all!

CoinQuest thanks ixwisdom for the use of their coin photo.
