[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 1227704, member: 11521"]That is no guarantee that it is genuine. If your Trade Dollar was attracted to a magnet it would definitely be counterfeit. Many cheap Chinese counterfeit Trade Dollars are attracted to a magnet but the fact yours is not attracted to a magnet does not mean it is not a fake. There are LOTS and LOTS of counterfeits that have been in collections for decades and decades. Many Proof coins have circulated. Trade Dollars were not popular and many Proof Trade Dollars were spent and circulated. First - - - [SIZE=3][B]DO NOT CLEAN YOUR TRADE DOLLAR!!! [/B][/SIZE] Second - Take your Trade Dollar to a competent coin dealer and ask him if he can authenticate the coin for you. If he thinks your Trade Dollar is genuine it would be worthwhile to send it to PCGS or NGC. Depending on condition it could be worth up to $1,000 (AU-50).[/QUOTE]
