Hi, can you please tell me if there are fake 1873 cc trade dollars and 1889 cc silver dollars out there if so how can i tell the difference??
ANSWER:
Unfortunately, the entire series of Trade Dollars has been counterfeited and also all Carson City minted Morgan dollars. It's best to take the coins to a dealer or collector for an opinion on authenticity because there is no way to tell a coin is fake unseen. You can also send the coins to one of the professional grading services, many coin dealers can do this for you.

What is the value of 1882 trade dollar cc?
All 1882 Trade Dollars are a "Proof" only issue. All were minted in Philadelphia, none at Carson City. So if you have an 1882-CC Trade Dollar it's a fake with no value.

Was there a Trade dollar minted in 1872?
Trade Dollars were minted from 1873 to 1885. The dollar that was minted in 1872 was the Seated Liberty Dollar, if it has a (CC) mintmark and the coin is in good condition, the coin could be worth thousands. *If it says 1872, and Trade Dollar, it is a copy (fake) of a pattern coin from 1873, which used the Seated Liberty obverse and one of two "trade dollar" reverse sides. These copies are readily and cheaply available, and some do not bear the legally-required 'COPY' imprint. Most contain no silver at all.

What is the value of a CC 1817 trade dollar Is there such a coin or did I get a counterfeit?
You are correct to be suspicious. Trade dollars were only issued for circulation from 1873 to 1878. The last few decades have seen a huge influx of counterfeit coins, mostly from the Far East. Their quality ranges from excellent to laughably bad. The latter often have impossible dates and designs, as you see on your coin. A couple of years ago I saw a supposed "Washington quarter" that was dated 1865. Another fake, needless to say.
