No. All US $1 coins were made of either silver or gold alloys until the Eisenhower dollar was released in 1971.

In fact, no US Coins contained nickel until 1857. It's a very hard metal and older presses could only strike coins from softer metals without breaking.

How do you tell if a 1797 trade dollar is a fake?

Very easily. The first Trade Dollars were minted in 1873. If your coin says Trade Dollar on the back and is dated 1797 it is a counterfeit. The market has been flooded with counterfeit dollars, some very good, some laughably bad with impossible dates, designs, or mint marks.
