[QUOTE="Al Foster, post: 2923521, member: 91419"]Re: the 1875-cc Trade Dollar I/II shown above. I strongly believe it is also a fake. Here are my reasons: On the obverse: Can't see the edge so won't comment Denticles look weak and odd stars look bad i.e. out of its normal shape Olive branch is separated from the leaves The date is in a different location than my example and matches the location of the 1875-s Micro S which counterfeiters typically screw up On the Reverse: The cc is in a different location than on my example Denticles look weak All of the numbers don't look right check out the 9 Some of the letters look off too The left wing top is typically flat and weakly struck here it isn't and that is a huge tell tale sight since this one is so low grade, the wrong obv & rev for the die marriage Discussion is welcomed[/QUOTE]
