Message:: [QUOTE="Suomalainen, post: 288447, member: 10663"]I recently came across this coin and assuming this coin is even legit, what do you think its worth? The reason I question whether it is real or not is because of a few key differences between it and other coins of the same kind I have researched online. I have taken some pictures to illustrate what I mean (sorry for the poor quality, damn cell phone pics) Pic 1 shows that the stars that border the edge of the coin are not full filled in stars, rather outlines only.[ATTACH]21915.vB[/ATTACH]  Pic 2 shows that the space that is supposed to say "In God We Trust" is blank, and shows no signs of wear or tampering.[ATTACH]21916.vB[/ATTACH]  And pic 3 shows the same type of thing as pic 2, where it is supposed to say "E Pluribus Unum" it is just blank and shows no signs of wear or tampering. Also the eagles chest feathers have a different pattern then that of the eagles on other trade dollars.[ATTACH]21917.vB[/ATTACH] I dont know too much about American coins and am just curious whether this is a poorly manufactured counterfeit (although putting those differences aside, the coin is about the right weight and seems to be consistent with real coins) or maybe this is a coin full of mint errors, which would be pretty cool but I'm not getting my hopes up. Thanks for any replys :thumb:[/QUOTE]
