It wouldn't look like anything because no genuine Trade Dollars were minted in 1872. If you have a coin with that date it's a counterfeit.
There were some silver pattern coins dated 1872 that were struck in 1873, but these are already accounted for. They are versions of the Liberty Seated Dollar.

All US Trade Dollars have a picture of Miss Liberty, seated, on the front and a spread-winged eagle on the reverse. The reverse also carries the words TRADE DOLLAR and the coin's fineness (purity) and its weight measured in the old unit of grains. There are nice images at the links below.
Grains like wheat, oats, barley, rye and corn.

Hello, I have a Trade Dollar coin from 1798 with a seated liberty holding an olive branch twoards the West with 13 stars on one side and on the other an eagle holding 3 arrows and an olive branch in his claws. it is marked "420 GRAINS 900 FINE" with a "S" above the "D" in "Trade Dollar". I looked online to source this coin but I could not find any info on it. I only see information about trade dollar coins from 18XX and not 1798. i will attach pics in a few. thanks! i would like to know it's price because i would like to sail it. if anybody haves any information please send me an e-mail... marksingle1@hotmail.com. regards. Mark
If you honestly don't know, I'd like to trade you 0.5 dollar for 1.0 dollar.
The US Mint did not produce any Trade Dollars in 1870. Mintage for the Trade Dollar began in 1873 and ended in 1885. If you have a trade dollar perhaps it is from a different country.

The United States never issued a "trade half dollar," although there may be a few local souvenir trade half dollars that have been issued from time to time. US Trade Dollars were issued from 1873 to 1885, British Trade Dollars from 1895 to 1935, and Japanese Trade Dollars from 1875 to 1877.
Tasty grains :)
They imported their goods to trade and sell. Like grains, grapes, and olives to make wine they also traded thy idea of the alphabet :)
