Is this a fake trade dollar?
I am new to the hobby after inheriting a coin collection. I believe from what I can find that this is not an authentic trade dollar but was wondering if someone could look and give me their opinion? I appreciate it.

Photo Evidence?
I'd try to prefer to take a photo near the weight to show how much it weighs . . .
Just my 2 Cents here . . .

Complete images of OBV and REV will make it a lot easier to tell, although my initial look at the mint mark makes me wonder:
But until better pics - I just threw this together and angle might be a factor.Common grading company shortcomings & resulting co$tly mi$take$ to collectors (using Kennedy No FG halves):

Re: Is this a fake trade dollar?
It definitely looks weird but that could be from cleaning, to give a more accurate answer you would need the weight, and preferably the diameter and thickness.

Re: Is this a fake trade dollar?
There's a reason why the grading companies have you send coins to them, it's not fair to expect people to authenticate your coin, non professionally and in a coin forum. Just based on images alone. Send the coin off to have it authenticated or take it to someone in person.
