Jim Shuster Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Just picked up my first Trade Dollar. Very common 1877-S but in MS++++. Proof Like. Coin is awesome. Ebay price was $515. Hopefully I got a real good deal. Sending in to NGC for their review. If comes back MS 62 or better I got a deal. Maybe I'll start collecting a full set. Anyone out there collect a full set?

Crawtomatic Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I always cringe when I see sellers fill the flip's edges with superlatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkFeld Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I hope you have a return privilege. Based on having viewed my fair share of Trade Dollars, I believe chances are quite good that the image has been enhanced and/or that the coin has been polished.

physics-fan3.14 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) That image is way too small to say with high confidence.... but I think there's a STRONG chance that coin has been harshly polished to make it look reflective. It just doesn't have the feel of a true Prooflike coin. For comparison, here's my MS-63 PL: Edited August 23, 2019 by physics-fan3.14 bsshog40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmiCoins Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Its a very small picture, but my guess is that it has been very harshly cleaned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
