It's a fake. Sorry. There are no known varieties of genuine Trade Dollars with a missing star. I am holding an identical coin to yours right now. It too, is a fake.
No such coin exists. No British trade dollar was struck until 1895.

They're completely different coins. Half dollars were and are made for ordinary spending. Trade dollars were made for use outside of the US in international transactions.
No because they contain no magnetic materials.

In an answer to a similar question, someone wrote that one British Pound in 1875 was worth about what 62 BP are worth today. (around $100 USD!). So doing the math, 70 pounds would have been worth about $7000 USD today!
If it has one, it is on the reverse of the coin, just above the "D" in the word DOLLAR. It can only be an "S" or "CC" mintmark.
Please check your coin again and post a new, separate question. Trade dollars were minted from 1873 to 1875.
