    I get more questions and bad new stories on Trade Dollars; more than any other coin type. So many fakes, copies and counterfeits that people get "bit" on these all the time. Education is the only answer to that so please share this video!

    Thanks Daniel, as always we appreciate your efforts on our behalf. I have a special love for Trade Dollars, especially American Trade Dollars, and that 1882 is a beauty!
    I have one in storage in the US, a 1876-CC. (The way things are going it may be the only reason I return to the US.) Stay strong Daniel. Till next time. All the best!

    Hi Daniel, a few weeks ago I did buy a trade dollar and as soon as I got it in my hand I knew it was fake, although I'm pretty sure it's been made with 900 silver!
    Sometime in the future I'll get the metal tested, my scales broke just before I got it and it passed the magnet test but if it is silver I won't be too annoyed, I think I will stick to what I know but a real one would be lovely for my collection! I will see what the future brings there though.
    Your a good and helpful man Daniel, good video thanks.

    Thank you sharing this very good info. People should get more educated about fakes. I'm one of the poor souls who was scammed with a bunch of fake $1 Liberty Seated & Morgan's. When somethin is too good to be true, something's fishy, but I was stupid (and greedy) enough to buy for €6,300 euro (around $7,000 USD, April 2023). The seller told me a cry story "Ooh it's so difficult selling these US coins here in Europe, so you can have them for a bargain". He offered me the coins for 60% of the PCGS value and I bought all five coins, and got scammed big time, all of them were counterfeit and I must say they were extremely well manufactured and much better looking than these you shared here with us

    Ran into this video today, because my dad just bought 2 1885 Trade dollars in the flea market just know (4-15-23) he only paid $20 for both so no big deal. I do collect coins but im not well verse on the trade dollars, so I didnt know that the 85's only come in proofs and are worth in 7 figures, but anyways, so when he brought them home, It past the magnet test, but failed the weigh test, but the funny part is the coins have signs of sand casting, but has great luster and cartwheeling to it, and I did a ping test using the app pingcoin and of course it fails the morgan, and peace dollar test but funny enough it passes the 500 Lire Italian coin test, which 500 lire is 83.5% silver, but its the size of the trade dollar and it does have a mild silver pinging sound when shucked in hand together, so im wondering if they are silver forged coins using the 500 lire to make them knowing that they are worth alot of money if they were new.

    Trade Dollars are one of my favorite series to collect. Theres great info to links on Trade Dollars on the Liberty Seated Collectors Group which everyone interested should read. Q David Bowers book on US silver dollars is in pdf format on PCGS website which has great info.
    Also the Gobrect Journal theres a series written by Mike Fazzari in issue #61 & #63, around 1994/95 which also has critical info which can be used to compare authentic trade dollar varieties to counterfit. Of course this info goes along with the obvious methods to weigh the coin, ring the coin, etc.... to come to a conclusion if its authentic. .great video Daniel thenks.

      There's s few proposed coins but they're all Pattern coins and are proofs. I am never going to say a mule is possibly because there's too many fake fantasy pieces "muling" the known patterns, seated dollars and trade dollars. So no circulated or business strike mule exist.

      Nothing wrong with buying from eBay, buyers are protected. You should be telling people to get educated about the coins they want and put the scams out of business.

      Then get your money back and educate yourself on fakes so you can't be fooled. It's not ebay's fault. Scammers are everywhere, even flea markets.
