Other than the word "copy" on the coin, there is not just one thing to look for. You can weigh the coin it should 27.22 grams and compare it to another Trade dollar or pictures on the web. But because the entire series is known to have been counterfeited it's best to have a coin dealer or collector look at the coin.
