Trade dollar die rotation error

I have 1876 Trade Dollar minted in San Francisco. It is in a good condition and it has two errors. It has 180 degree die rotation error and the eagle side of the coin is double printed. I couldn't find any information on coin like this one and would appreciate any info. I would like to know how much it is worth. Even the price range would be nice to know.
Thanks,

Speedy,

My camera doesn't allow me to take a nice picture of the coin. Let's assume it is authentic, how much would it cost and are there any known coins like this one?

 

well just the coin MIGH be worth $100 or more but with the rotation it might add some...but it mgiht be fake...

Speedy

 

a post would be nice...if you can manage. Come back later.

 

If I remember correctly, a 180 degree die rotation is one of the first clues that its a fake.

For more info to make sure check

or search through this forum, its a topic thats been discussed more than once....

Here's one thread to get you started.

Good luck

 

I have managed to take a picture of my Trade Dollar. Here's what I got. Hope the quality will allow you to make any suggestions.
Thanks,

Is it just my bad eyesight or is that some form of doubling on the rev. below "TRADE DOLLAR"?

 

I'm sorry to tell you this but I think its a fake...

The date looks too high
The whole coin looks uneven (Sp?) and looks to have air bubbles in it (I think that points to a cast copy)
and the rim looks funny...

The whole coin looks odd like a fake but I'm not sure.

I agree with Speedy. The coin looks highly questionable.

 

i have a trade dollar then i researched its a fake yours look like it has more detail then mine but the mint mark looks funny see how much it weights match it up with an orginal

 

I hate to say it, but I'm pretty sure Speedy and the others are right. l The surface has somewhat of a grainy look, typical of a casting.

How much does the coin weigh? 420 grains of .900 silver is 27.216 grams, and the Mint was pretty persnickety about planchet weight for that series. With the amount of apparent wear on yours, if genuine it will weigh between 27.15-27.2 grams. If you don't have a gram scale, check it on a postal scale, where it should weigh just a tiny bit less than one ounce.

What is the diameter? A genuine piece is 38.1mm - not 38 and not 38.2!
