<p>[QUOTE="tequilaDave, post: 2425435, member: 21609"]Trade dollars are one of the most counterfeited of all the US coins. And as I suspect from your post, you already know this. That said, detecting a counterfeited trade dollar requires careful inspection and a thorough understanding of the hallmarks of a real vs. fake trade dollar. </p><p>So my next question is this - how much is this coin you're thinking of buying going to cost you? Is the purchase price significantly less than buying a graded version of the coin? Personally, until I fully understood a coin (ie -read the book), I would stick with a slabbed coin from a reputable dealer, even if it meant a paying a little more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
