I will tally the votes and post ANACS conclusion ASAP.
Thanks to all!

 

Please do. I haven't really studied Trade Dollars so don't have the knowledge to give a educated guess, but it looks real and like @Mainebill states in post #12, maybe just an old pocket piece.

Great. I am really intrigued and want to know.

 

This was really fun!

It was brown when I sent it in, somehow the conservation process removed the brown. It looks great now and I am really glad I sent it in.
Thank you for your encouragement.

 

I do believe I called this one perfectly.

 

You did and I thank you for your guidance and support.

 

Welcome. If there’s a series I’m confident with it’s trade dollars. Not to say I can’t be fooled. But it takes a lot. And in hand no

 

Good to know Mainebill. This one was fun. I lucked out. I might try it again, but being sure to consult you and the gang of experts before I pull the trigger.

 

Fake . Here's Mine . Cleaned but still different. Why isn't the date worn ?

 

Did you say it is fake? How can you tell? By the wear? Can you post better pictures of it?

 

Sorry, I was too late to party. I just took a chance it was fake.

 

Mine turned out to be real, but it could have gone either way.

 

Actually no it couldn’t cause it was real. Doing some homework and making sure the weight was right will rule out 90% of the fakes. Most fakes aren’t this worn either. And always have some tells like weak central details. Faked wear mushy denticles etc. a lot have poor hair facial and hand detail too. When original this design is very crisp and very detailed part of why I love em
