I have recently received 8 FAKE TRADE DOLLARS that were purchased on EBAY. They all were “cast” not “stamped” like the mint makes them. You can easily see if your coin is cast by looking at the surface of the “LIBERTY” Ribbon on the obverse. If the coin is cast the surface of the ribbon wil be rough. Genuine coins will be smooth on that surface. Most of these coins come from China but North American sellers also have them. Look at these surfaces under a 10X power magnifying glass if you have recently purchased them. Return them immediately to the seller and make sure other buyers know that you got FAKE TRADE DOLLARS SOLD AS REAL. Real Trade Dollars also weigh 27.22 grams. Many FAKE TRADE Dollars weigh less. Buying Trade Dollars on the internet is a dangerous business. Make sure you check to see what you got. Replicas are nearly worthless compared to the real thing and selling replicas as real is a crime, ( a federal crime if you ship them out of state).
