[QUOTE="BigsWick, post: 61899, member: 3534"]What do you guys think of this one? It is my first Trade Dollar: [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y231/BigsWick/TradeDollarObv.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y231/BigsWick/TradeDollarRev.jpg[/IMG] I took a gamble and purchased it off of eBay about 6 weeks ago, unslabbed, from a seller with terrific feedback and a generous return policy. He advertised it as "nice XF." I agree. The coin looks, feels, and sounds right, though most of my experience is with Morgan and Peace dollars. I'm as concerned about fakes as anyone, so I waited and waited until I felt the right coin came along. I opted for one of the most common examples too (over 5,000,000 made), thinking this might cut down on the chance it was a forgery. The vast majority of the bogus coins coming from China just seem so awfully done- spelling errors, clearly altered dates, incorrect dates/mintmarks, etc. A child could see through the ruse. I'm sure they'll get better with time.....[/QUOTE]
