<p>[QUOTE=&quot;goincarcrazy, post: 1464734, member: 25004&quot;]This is my biggest mistake as well as my biggest learning experience. When I was putting my 7070 together, there came a time when the Trade Dollar hole needed to be filled, being the one for bargains, I turned to (don&#039;t cringe too bad) ebay. Outcome being obvious, I still to this day don&#039;t think the seller intentionally sold me a fake. I believe he thought it was genuine as well, but needless to say, that doesn&#039;t help any. I didn&#039;t pay through the nose for it or anything, but alas, it is money long gone.&nbsp; From this I did learn more about Trade Dollars than I ever thought I would, and currently have a nice (but cleaned) Cherrypicked AU double die reverse 1878 S sitting at NGC as I type. </p><p><br /></p><p>Advice to buyers - The best thing you could possible do is know what a real trade dollar looks like. I read plenty before buying the fake about &quot;details just aren&#039;t there&quot; and &quot;things not being as sharp as on a real one&quot;. Well that didn&#039;t help much since I had never paid much attention to the real ones prior to that. so see below for the fake and the real and compare for yourself. </p><p><br /></p><p>Fake:</p><p><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/goingcarcrazy/bb050e10.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/goingcarcrazy/b473910a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Real (although they&#039;re terrible pictures):</p><p><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/goingcarcrazy/0440ada4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/goingcarcrazy/47ecf291.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
