<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DieHard11, post: 2224887, member: 74563&quot;]I have a 77s that looks genuine, but the weight is way below specs.&nbsp; I brought it to a dealer and, after inspecting it closely, he opened the obverse, which is carefully hinged, to reveal a glass enclosed photo of a woman&#039;s face, including a Victorian era hat on the back of the reverse and an inscription of devotion to someone dated 1909.&nbsp; I know that the Trade Dollars were occasionally used as ways to smuggle opium or such, but this was essentially a locket.&nbsp; Most of the ones I&#039;ve seen have been damaged, probably from someone carelessly opening them.&nbsp; This one is in fine condition and was so well cut that I have to use a 20x loupe to find where to open it.&nbsp; Has anyone else seen this sort of thing?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
