Just purchased this Trade Dollar. Opinions about grade wanted. Thanks in advance.

I think it's gorgeous, no matter the grade!

 

MS 64 is my guess.

 

Thanks for sharing...Mike

Very nice 64+ Wonder where she spent her life was she with friends or living alone all those years.

Looks to be in the MS range. Whose holder is it in??

[LostDutchman-migration]

looks like an old ANA holder?

[Conder101]

I'm going to make a guess that it is an ANACS 11 slab. Note the old ANA logo impressed into the white center piece of the slab on the reverse. (Although I hate to admit that if it is I never noticed the logo before.)

 

If it isn't I really would like to see it.

Old ANA holder is correct, the letter-number combination designation. It seems to me they were pretty tough on grades in the a lot of cases during that period, late 80's and early 90's

Whatever the grade, its a great looking Trade Dollar

[LostDutchman-migration]

i agree

[MarkFeld]

The coin looks to be very clean and attractive. I see nothing in the images that would necessarily preclude an MS65 grade. That said, images usually mask flaws which can only be detected by tilting and rotating the coin under proper lighting.

I like that Trade Dollar very much indeed!

I'm gonna say 64 - only cuz I'd like to see more 'pop' out of a 75-S gem.

Like the dipped white ones floating around?

Pretty looking coin. I'd guess a 64.

That is a sweet looking Trade Dollar, shows a lot of character. I would guess at least MS64.

Oh, yes - I much prefer a white coin over lovely toning. I take a brillo brush to all my coins of provenance so they end up matching the rest of my set.

 

Nope - it's just that the 75-S is the one date that really comes lustrous. It could be the pic, but the flow lines in the fields and the frost on the devices just don't appear to be quite gem quality to me.

Gourgeous!!

What's that black area on the reverse upper field? Is it just toning?

Appears to be a 'drift mark' - grease struck into the planchet.

That is one of the best looking toned Trade Dollars I have seen in a while. I would guess it is a MS-64.

Nice Trade Dollar!
