1847 the Carson City mint didn't exist yet

 

thats what i have found out so this one is a fake?

 

Indeed it is, the Chinese do that quite often

 

ha i do have a 1873 trade dollarhow would i tell on this guy? also a 1874 cc

 

Weigh it. and the ever popular ring test. drop it very gently on a wood surface and listen for the "ring" the coin makes if it rings it might be silver, if it thuds its a fake

 

If it sticks to a magnet it is fake. (That does not mean that if it does not stick to a magnet is is genuine.)

The odds are the 1874-CC is fake also. Where did you get these coins?
