<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Richard01, post: 43840, member: 2700&quot;]I recently recieved as part of a bulk type lot several of the older electrotype trade dollars. Two of the three had actually been in circulation at some point and had significant wear. </p><p>My question is this, where can someone find out where and when these were made? I assume (and was told by one dealer) that these were made in the late 1800&#039;s as counterfiets and actually circulated in many cases, and even today are sold as the real thing at times. Is this accurate? How would you tell a new electrotype from an old one?</p><p>They are great looking coins, and I could likely never afford a trade dollar in the condition of these (especially the CC mint copy in BU). So, what is the value? Does anyone collect these? Any books or information sources?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
