Finally got around to imaging this one. Will post the grade Sunday night. Have a great weekend!

I’ll say AU-50

 

The toning is good; there are a few obverse and reverse shallow spots. EF-40 possibly AU-50.

 

PCGS EF45 and a nice coin!

 

DITTO.

 

I took a real good, slow look at it and before I saw your guess/assessment I came up with the same grade…AU50. I almost said AU53, but the patches of wear on the reverse were rather prominent.

That being said, that is a downright nice Trade Dollar even at a AU50…Spark

 

I’d have to say it’s a XF-40, maybe 45. Too much wear for an AU grade. It is very nice and no chop marks.

 

AU 55

 

63

 

XF-40

 

I think those are strike issues on the reverse. i will guess AU-58. James

 

AU Detail - Cleaned

 

Sure, it does look like wear at first on the reverse, but how do you handle a coin and only wear one of the two sides you are touching? So I agree with this being a strike issue and go with MS62 rather than the AU53 I first thought.

 

AU58, and a nice one at that.
