A genuine 1883 U.S. trade dollar is worth no less than $700 and quite possibly over $1,000 depending on condition. Note: An actual trade dollar has the Seated Liberty design on the obverse (heads) side and says "120 grains 900 fine" and "trade dollar" on the reverse (tails) side. If one side is only a woman's face, and the other side has an eagle and says "one dollar," then it's an 1883 Morgan dollar, worth about $25.
The first trade dollars were minted in 1873. If your coin has that date on the front and the words TRADE DOLLAR and 420 GRAINS 900 FINE on the back, it's a counterfeit (replica coin). It should have been plainly marked with the stamp "COPY." If it has a spread-winged eagle and the abbreviation ONE DOL. on the back, it's a Liberty Seated dollar, not a trade dollar.

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 After 1878 only proof coins were struck and in 1887 the law which authorized the Trade Dollar was repealed and no more were minted.
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.

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.
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).
