Thoughts from the Trade $ collectors out there on this one?

Can you get a partial image of the edge for comparison @ksparrow ?

sorry, it's in the bank. I was referencing the edge photo in my fake trade dollar thread.

 

I have a PCGS MS-63 for a type coin. I would love to get a Proof, but the prices have been too high. I sold a really nice Proof when I was a dealer for the going price at the time. I wish I had kept it.

If you buy a certified one, you should be okay.

 

Well, the 77-CC and 78-CC are DEFINITELY fakes as they have Type 1 reverses.

 

Of the 4 Jack posted, the one at the top, the 76-s micro-s, is the most deceptive. the last 2, as noted, are easily outed by their T1 reverses.
Speaking of the coin in the OP, I am wondering if the skinny rims account for it being underweight; would be interesting to know the diameter and thickness when Jack has a chance to study it. I think this explains what bothers me about the edge reeding; there is no "bridging" by the rims at the ends of the reeds because the rims are so skimpy

 

Will check when I receive it @ksparrow .

 

@ksparrow , coin is in hand. Measures well under in diameter at 36.45 mm; thickness at 2.61 mm. I took some detail images as follows:

 

very interesting, Jack. If they hadn't blown it on the diameter it would be a very convincing fake. I see some "shelf doubling" on the dentils in the next to last photo, which I have not observed on genuine Trades. thanks!

 

Jack, would you mind posting some "full frontal" shots as well as detail images on the fake trade dollars thread https://www.cointalk.com/threads/how-do-you-spot-fake-trade-dollars-anyway.63695/ ? thanks!
