<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dynoking, post: 8097106, member: 81795&quot;]I&#039;m not a Trade Dollar expert by any means. When I saw this un-graded TD on the auction block I though I would test my diagnostic skills. Using the auction house&#039;s pictures (attached) I compared a couple of points of the reverse against pictures of a 1876 TD from PCGS Coin Facts. I found;</p><p>On the coin in question the eagles right (left facing) lower wing tip goes though the top arrow shaft and ends touching the middle arrow shaft. In the Coins Facts photo the wing tip ends just after intersecting with the top arrow.</p><p>On the coin in question the left (right facing) lower wing tip looks like it was trimmed with scissors.</p><p>On the coin in question the lowest leaf of the four olive leaf cluster ends well below the F in FINE. PCGS shows it ends at the top of the F.</p><p>The detail of the feathers of the left facing wing and the breast look like they could have been added with a paint brush. To my eyes they just don&#039;t match the PCGS coin. (Too detailed)</p><p>The center of the ribbon is missing the raised border. (Though could be a strike issue)</p><p>I stopped after the above observations.</p><p>Any Trade Dollar experts want to comment on my observations? Others please add your comments about the posted coins authenticity.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407565[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1407570[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
