The 1842 U.S. trade dollar, weighing 420 grains and composed of 900 fine silver, features a design that includes a seated Liberty on the obverse, holding a pole with a liberty cap and a shield, surrounded by the inscription "Liberty". The reverse showcases an eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, along with the words "United States of America" and the denomination "Trade Dollar." Its overall appearance is characterized by a classic, detailed engraving typical of early American coinage, with a slightly larger size compared to standard silver coins of the era.
All 1879 trade dollars were proofs and the entire trade dollar series is heavily counterfeited. Most likely, your coin is a counterfeit, but should be examined by someone who knows a lot about coins (good places to start are coin shops and jewelry shops) if you believe it to be genuine, but most likely it is a counterfeit. If genuine it could be worth hundreds to thousands of dollars.

This depends on whether the coin is a 1990 or 1990 Proof coin. A 1990 gold coin with a face value of $10.00 that weighs 0.25 ounces is worth approximately $390. A 0.25-ounce 1990 Proof coin is worth approximately $420.

Dates are needed, post new question.
No genuine Trade Dollars are dated 1872. 1873 was the first year issue. The entire series of Trade Dollars is known to have counterfeits.
This depends on if it is a Morgan or Trade dollar.
It's a fake Trade Dollar, 1879 Trade Dollars are proof only issues that were struck in Philadelphia and have no mint mark
The 420 grains is the weight of the coin. The 900 fine means it is composed of 90% silver. These coins, first issued in 1873 and called "Trade Dollars", were to be circulated in the Far East to compete with the Mexican equivalent of the dollar and were not intended for use in domestic trade although they were. Congress revoked their legal tender status in the U.S. in 1876 although they were minted in numbers until 1878. After 1878 only proof coins were struck and in 1887 the law which authorized the Trade Dollar was repealed and no more were minted.
No genuine Trade Dollars are dated 1796. 1873 was the first year issue. Wrong-date counterfeits mostly come from China and are completely worthless.

420 grains
An 1875 Trade dollar 420 grains .900 Fine was a Silver Dollar minted in the US in the 19th century. These 'dollars' were not legal tender in the United States of America, instead intended for trade overseas, specifically in Asia. Hence the name Trade Dollars. 420 grains is roughly 27 grams of .900 Silver, which is under a troy ounce of 90% silver. These were intended to complete with other currencies being utilized in the orient at the time they were being minted. A lot of surviving specimens have what are called chop marks; marks on them which were done by a tool the recipient of these coins hit into them to verify they were real silver. Most trade dollars are worth more for their numismatic value than their silver value (trending a $100 or more in the lowest graded conditions).
It is a fake without a doubt. Trade dollars were not struck until 1873, any trade dollar bearing the date of 1872 is a counterfeit.There are numerous iron (magnetic) fakes made of the 1872 dollar, which copied the genuine "pattern coins" struck in 1873 but dated 1872, of which 6 are known.
