Based on the date it's not even a good fake. Trade Dollars were only struck from 1873 to 1885. My guess is that it's worth only the value of whatever cheap metal it's made from.
Counterfeits are rarely worth much of anything unless they have a "back story" such as that associated with the so-called racketeer coins made by gold-plating early Liberty nickels and passing them off as $5 pieces. These alterations have taken on a life of their own and are have moderate collector value.
All 1882 Trade Dollars are a "Proof" only issue. All were minted in Philadelphia, none at Carson City. So if you have an 1882-CC Trade Dollar it's a fake with no value.
The first year Trade Dollars were issued was 1873. Many wrong-date counterfeits exist. If it does have "TRADE DOLLAR" on the reverse. It is definitely a fake. If not, it's a 1872 Seated Liberty dollar that needs to be seen for an accurate value. Take it to a coin dealer.
It depends greatly on the date/mintmark. HOWEVER, the Trade dollar is perhaps the most faked US coin. Look for characteristic "strike weakness" where the coin might have areas that look "worn" but aren't the highest point of the coin, if it has them, its a good indicator that the coin could be a fake. Next, weigh the coin, a US trade dollar should weigh 27.2 grams. If the coin weighs much more or less than it, its a fake. Fakes that are the same weight will be thicker or larger than a genuine trade dollar. At a minimum a genuine (fakes have little to no value) coin will be worth about $30 for a very worn coin, while $80-150 in the common range for better condition pieces that are common dates (and genuine!). However, there are several rare dates that command much higher prices. But I cannot stress this enough, make sure your trade dollar is genuine before thinking $$$, I'd imagine that there are about 5-10 fake trade dollars for every real one. If you plan to sell it online, I'd go to a coin shop and have it evaluated in person before putting it on eBay and the like to avoid selling a fake coin and having to suffer through negative feedback and returns.
Nothing because it's fake
Actually, they do exist in Canada, And were printed for a couple of years, They range from $400 to $800 Canadian and a lot more if they are perfect. These are very collectable and ARE NOT FAKE!!
A US Trade Dollar dated 1795 is a fake, they were struck from 1873-1885
If you have a 'Trade Dollar' dated 1799 it's fake. 1873 is the first year of issue.
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.
If you've got a bronze trade dollar coin, it is a fake. Real trade dollars were made out of silver, not bronze.
Trade dollars were only struck from 1873 to 1885 and have the words TRADE DOLLAR in large letters on the back.All genuine dollars issued in 1797 carry the head of Miss Liberty on the front and an eagle on the back. Anything else is a fantasy piece or a counterfeit. Over the last few decades HUGE numbers of counterfeit dollars have been made, mostly in the Far East. Some are very good while others are laughably bad, with impossible designs and dates. If you have a 1797 coin that states "Trade Dollar" on its reverse, I'm sorry to say you have a fake, guaranteed.However ... If you had a genuine 1797 Liberty dollar its value could range from $1,000 to $20,000 depending on its condition and die variety. You would need to have it authenticated by a certified dealer or major numismatic agency such as PCGS or PNG before you could determine its exact worth.

It is only worth the value of the metal it is made of so if it is made of silver it is worth something. If it's fake then it has no collector value.
No such thing, fake.
