Assume that there are no treasures in the trash yet.

If I possess my opponent and then on the possession turn force my opponent to trash a Copper with Forager, does the Forager give +$0 or +$1? I think +$0 because the trashed Copper doesn't go to the trash pile, but I wanted to check.

[sudgy]

I'm almost certain it's +$0, Possession says to instead set aside the card instead of putting it in the trash.

[Asper]

You both got it right.

Possession makes your opponent set aside cards that he trashes. So while they are in fact trashed, they don't stay in the trash. The mechanic resembles Fortress' on-trash clause.

[ConMan]

The "set aside" happens as a trigger from Possession, so it resolves once the Copper is trashed. By the time Forager is checking the trash for treasures, the Copper isn't there.
