[QUOTE="900fine, post: 205715, member: 6036"]Hard to say. Trade Dollars are NOTORIOUS for counterfeits; I suppose that's why the guy has the picture of it on the scale, since many counterfeits are off-weight. Realize that the photo does NOT prove it is on spec weight, and it CERTAINLY doesn't prove this piece is authentic. Also... The bid right now is $250 (close to closing time).

[URL="http://www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.chtml?type=date&filename=seated_trade_dollar"]http://www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.chtml?type=date&filename=seated_trade_dollar[/URL] I don't think this coin is certifiable - I think it's cleaned, and has scratches and bumps. If you're cool with a "problem" coin, and willing to risk a counterfeit, you might get a decent price. If you want a type coin, there are more common dates... 74-CC isn't rare, but it does carry a bit of a premium.[/QUOTE]
