Wanted to show off a few coins I have recently bought a 1874 s trade dollar that went in my type book.
Sorry for raining on your parade, but this T$1 was cleaned to death. I’d recommend to avoid harshly cleaned coins, even if it’s for a Dansco or your “B” collection.
Horrific coin to my eye. Looks like someone took a handful of gravel and scrubbed it to death. But if you like it, that's all that matters. Glad you're happy.
One just sold on ebay xf and it was heavily cleaned for 270 like I said looks better in person than photos.
Even cleaned, I like it. Is this in the slab or after you broke it out? Some of the scratches could have been on the plastic. What company graded it and what grade?
This was in the the slab when the picture was taken it doesnt really look as bad as the pictures look, it was graded au50 details old anacs holder soap box style.
The grade looks right, obviously cleaned but lighting can exaggerate the appearance of the cleaning lines. I'm glad it found a home with a collector who enjoys it. Might be a test mark next to star 13. Many of these were shipped to China and were chopped or marked in other ways.
I'm afraid you won't find many fans of that coin around here. Harshly, harshly cleaned. Your 1839 CBH was much nicer.
