<p>[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1689746, member: 41863"]Hey guys I've had this trade dollar for awhile now, and was thinking about sending it in, but since I've been seeing threads questioning alot of coins authenticity i wanted to see what you guys thought of mine. I'm well aware this is a HEAVILY counterfeited coin, so can anybody advise on its authenticity based off of the pictures below:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]255127.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]255128.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not actually have the current weight for the coin at the moment. Just haven't had the coin and scale in the same location with this topic on my mind. Can remedy that tomorrow though. I know the question will be asked. Lol. </p><p><br /></p><p>My second question was towards a variety or authenticity indicator in the form of 'filled' mint mart. The bottom of my 'S' looks to be just a blob. Is this normal for a trade dollar?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]255131.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And lastly is there any opinions as to the grade?
