    masterswimmer A Caretaker, can't take it with me

    I was lucky to buy this one from our distinguished member, @Randy Abercrombie. Thank you, sincerely.

    I'll share the TPG with you. PCGS
    The rest is up to you.

    No 'guesses' from you, Randy. ;)

    PS- I ain't thin skinned. Not worried about any preconceived insulting guesses. Have at it.

    It could very well be an uncirculated coin but I will go with AU-58. A beautiful coin, lots of little tics, but no obvious large gouges or scratches I can see. I think there is some small points of wear, and I think there is just enough rub in the fields to give it the AU grade. James

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    This one is tricky! I think the fields have toning, not wear. But I'm not seeing much luster. There appears to be quite a few fine marks. Eye appeal is probably better in hand, based on how I'm interpreting the pictures.

    I'm going 61.

    Even still, any UNC Trade Dollar is a big purchase, so congrats on getting a really nice coin!

    I’m at an AU-55 as I see a little wear that I think is too much wear for a 58 grade.
