<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lupinus911, post: 1022603, member: 27675&quot;]Hi. Last summer I bought a really nice 1876-S Trade Dollar. I have identified it as a reverse type 2 and obverse type 2 which is slightly rarer than the normal kind but not as rare as those with CC mint marks. Problem: I bought it in Cambodia, former French Indo-China. Yes I bought an American coin in Asia, the biggest exporter of counterfeit coins in the world. For those of you rolling your eyes in disbelief :rollling: of my stupidity, the person I bought it from said he was using this coin for HIS counterfeits. I thought &quot;Hey, he already has the casts and he doesn&#039;t need it any more so it may be the real thing&quot;. I still need to validate that it is real and that&#039;s why I&#039;m here.</p><p><br /></p><p>It weighs about 27.1 grams and is about 37.5 mm in diameter (which is about the specs of a real trade dollar). I would love to hear your opinion about it if I can actually get the pics up in the first place! Also, the camera I have is rather old and so its resoultion isn&#039;t that high, nevertheless the coin is visible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
