[QUOTE="clembo, post: 653160, member: 8033"]Excellent thread Ksparrow. We get the occasional Trade Dollar at work. The FIRST thing I do is weigh it then give it to the boss. It's his money that will buy it after all. Had a guy come in last week with an "old dollar" he bought at a garage sale. He was just looking for information. Handed me the coin and I told him it was fake. Really hadn't looked at it rather than to see it "was" a Trade Dollar. How did I know? It was WAY light. Weighed it for the heck of it and was over 5 grams short.[/QUOTE]
