<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bobbyshawatl, post: 2092920, member: 73620&quot;]I was glad to see this thread.&nbsp; Many years ago, I received in a Christmas swap (among many other things), an 1876 trade dollar with the word &quot;copy&quot; on the 2x2.&nbsp; It&#039;s good to see this and understand WHY it&#039;s not a real coin.&nbsp; Even though I&#039;ve collected coins on and off for 30 years, I&#039;m still a &quot;beginner&quot; coin collector.&nbsp; To my untrained eye, I certainly wouldn&#039;t know it was a counterfeit if it weren&#039;t written on the 2x2, but some of the things the original posts says to watch out for is present in this coin (3 fingers on the 1876, the berry under the claw on the reverse, and differences in the dentils, where they look more like dots on the southeast corner of the obverse).&nbsp; If anyone is curious to see this fake coin, I&#039;ll see if I can get some good photos of it to show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
