A 1872 US silver dollar is a Seated Liberty dollar. The obverse shows lady liberty seated (hence the name) with her head turned to the left an her body to the right. Her left arm is bent up at the elbow holding a pole with a liberty cap on top of the pole. The right arm is straight down her side with the hand supporting a shield with a banner that has the word Liberty on it. In the fields of the coin are 7 stars left & 6 stars right with the date at the bottom of the coin. The reverse has a perched eagle shield on breast wing tips down holding arrows and olive branches. Above the eagle a banner with the motto "in god we trust" and above that United States of America. Below the eagle is the denomination One Dol.

What does a 1872 us trade dollar 420 grains 900 look like?

It wouldn't look like anything because no genuine Trade Dollars were minted in 1872. If you have a coin with that date it's a counterfeit. There were some silver pattern coins dated 1872 that were struck in 1873, but these are already accounted for. They are versions of the Liberty Seated Dollar.
