    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.

    Unc Details Cleaned ....I don't think there is any wear (so not AU) but the surfaces make me think it has been cleaned at some point (could be the photo though)
