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.
Trade dollars were only made from 1873 to 1875 and have the words TRADE DOLLAR in large letters on the back. Anything else is a fantasy piece or a counterfeit.
The words Trade Dollar are on the reverse of the coins.
to tell if a dollar is fake look closely at it and there should be little red/blue "hair" looking parts on it hope this helped
The best way to tell is to take it to a coin collector and see what he/she thinks.
If you have any doubts on it's authenticity, have it certified by one of the top 3 grading services. All early US dollars are known to have been counterfeited.

The fact that you are holding it indicates it is fake. There is no such thing as a million dollar bill and one has never been printed.
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.
You Look At The Dollar I Thje Light And check If Theres An Owl
On the front of a Trade Dollar it has Lady Liberty seated facing the left and on the back below the eagle TRADE DOLLAR. A Morgan Dollar has the head of Lady Liberty on the front.

If u look down to your right and tilt the dollar bill it will turn green that means it real. And if it's red that means it's fake.
If it does not have TM (Trade Mark) beside the I. And if it does it is real.
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.
