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.

It is a fake without a doubt. Trade dollars were not struck until 1873, any trade dollar bearing the date of 1872 is a counterfeit.There are numerous iron (magnetic) fakes made of the 1872 dollar, which copied the genuine "pattern coins" struck in 1873 but dated 1872, of which 6 are known.

How can you tell if a 10000 dollar bill is real or fake?

The US did print 10,000 dollar bills. Since these are of a higher denomination and more scarce than 1,2,5,10 and 20 dollar bills there is a higher chance that it is a counterfeit bill. However just because there is a higher chance does not mean that it is fake. The best way to find out if it is fake is to take it to trusted and experienced collector. He or she will probably be able to tell you.
