Lots of interesting comments. My wife keeps telling me not to trust "Wiki" anything.

First day in this site as a member, and already seeing great support like this. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply and the confirmation. (And I would never use step #7.). I will definitely buy certified.

I recently found an article in wikihow explaining how to identify a Trade Dollar fake. Below is the link. https://www.wikihow.com/Detect-Counterfeit-Trade-Dollars#:~:text=On a fake coin%2C these may be unevenly spaced.&text=Trade Dollars also have reeded,unevenly spaced%2C or irregularly sized. Step #9 says that if you flip the coin from left to right, the image of the eagle should be upright. Yet I see pictures all over Ebay showing the image being upright when flipping from top to bottom. Is this article incorrect? I want to buy a nice Trade Dollar, but now I'm a little spooked. BP
