<p>[QUOTE="joshaaronh, post: 962359, member: 24762"]I was searching Craigslist and found an ad with 9 trade dollars: one 1873, 4 1875s and 4 1876s... all cc mint marks. He said they were from his grandfather's collection before he died and he needs the cash for them. I emailed him and asked him how much... he said he had an offer of $1000, so I offered $1200 and he accepted. If they are genuine, this is a great deal (considering they are like $200+ each), but I suspect they are fake... It's really hard for me to tell. I read somewhere that they made thousands of counterfeits in the 1920s, so I asked him to send me a closeup picture of the 1873.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the picture of the '73:</p><p><a href="http://i1021.photobucket.com/albums/af335/jaaronh/003.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i1021.photobucket.com/albums/af335/jaaronh/003.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i1021.photobucket.com/albums/af335/jaaronh/003.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p> I already agreed on meeting him on wednesday, but I don't want to buy them if they are fake, so I need some help.
