All 1798 Trade Dollars are counterfeit because the Trade Dollar was not minted till the mid to late 1800s! Counterfeit coins bearing the date of 1798 were most likely made in the later part of the 1900s by Chinese counterfeiters to deceive the casual collector. Usually these coins are not collectable because they are made out of base (non silver) metal and are too modern to have the collectability of contemporary counterfeits which are counterfeits made to circulate at face value. For example, a fake Trade dollar minted in the 1890s to pass it off as $1 would be collectable, a fake Trade dollar minted in 1974 to trick a collector would not.
