It is really impossible to say, the first trade dollars were struck for circulation in 1873, but, there were a very small amount of trade dollars struck bearing the date of 1872 but they are pattern coins. Your coin is most likely counterfeit. However, there is a small, small, small, small, chance that you actually have a very rare pattern coin. I would take it to a coin dealer and ask if it is genuine or not, if it isn't genuine I'd get it tested to see if it was at least silver, if it was silver you might be able to sell it to a refiner for $20 or so, if it isn't genuine and isn't silver, the coin is pretty much worthless. When it comes to buying trade dollars there seems to be more counterfeits than real ones out there, so unless it was slabbed or sold by a reputable coin dealer, I wouldn't buy any trade dollars.
No genuine Trade Dollars are dated 1872. 1873 was the first year issue. The entire series of Trade Dollars is known to have counterfeits.
The first Trade Dollars were minted in 1873. If your coin says Trade Dollar on the back and is dated 1872 it is a counterfeit. If it does not say Trade Dollar, then it could be a genuine Liberty Seated dollar. You should have it inspected by a dealer or certification agency because its value could range from $300 to $1000 depending on condition.
