I know ms60 is a controversial grade but looking at this coin I cant help but wonder if its worthy of an upgrade... Do you think its graded right? or up or down? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1876-CC-Carson-City-U-S-Silver-Trade-Dollar-Mint-State-60-ANACS-Breen-5806/223468158450?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item3407bd7df2:g:zIkAAOSw6EZbrTXy&amdata=enc%3AAQAFAAACcBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%252Fn%252BzU5L90Z278x5ickkgCVySCgrNFPU8Iu85TabMO%252BbqB917aGVIySoF2QesHGDCfo2mJFenVVsRgbopJimlPfyrrZ2AJ9KBMpHfFlOo%252FrVEdgIMbdW40DUzgqa5EtsakA0qfRZORchCfSEXBX%252BNS4Vofhk%252Bp53W4dRAfV%252BBLdUnVaXNzHubtuX9sA97UKXzTYLF3Vg5HUEzx%252BkQcapFB3IVjszo%252FNu5B6BzgU6cJvf7%252Bel5mFg5gRDuGN4fHa6S28MaXbiWTYVMHUIvIs75O1iIvdoEy9HbatM%252Bf%252BK99cUAk3l2jAk9kIvS2ns1KREAEj6UOsLGvtVLHC1NTrHffuuQynSgLE1G9TD6C7klFDEzYGMVk7h45qIVHeNWvXUX6ulu17tc3GxhWUn13LYinmxfvXx%252B1Jg6qh%252FfpMHkOcdWHachhzrS%252BuGPOGaL5UA9a%252FUB7wIhrQABjH5pBycZcwPuRjwDnAtcEBkSnxY%252Bf%252BXrx40rxs60YAzkukzidRcjydQ42EtEEwEaEYniAkSei358mXGpeAe8Av%252BKnOOreiBcWipXJVMKSoJ5M51F%252F%252Fu68kgYiEIFjGzD0HRI7%252FLexx02C7QxiJmatRaVDWWTmaZ8zeETZHtgi0uEDsnILVcnQua5HRIYcQiC433Ax4cG8sXQGDQ6tmHyUvUwRmW%252B0atK07tKZt70vRgLPoTY0ubYdu1OOHecQfGvi8%252FtWiX3TsGh1WMm%252BGlky6LIMOzd7pvPR0K6PeL0fdcQ3UsYKIMPRVvuNdfHqN42qviS4wxgKZFHjGgbwF8m1rj7EK2FQ%253D%253D%7Ccksum%3A223468158450a3c5415c16424c93ab998f26cec1a1af%7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A2334524 Worthy of a crackout? I feel like the plastic should be crossed over at the least
With the number of hairlines on that piece, I'd say it has a good chance of going "Unc Details - cleaned" if you cracked.
It's up to you if you buy it. I personally, would leave it alone. While an upgrade would be cool. Being an MS 60 there always a chance there could be a downgrade. Details etc....
If you got an upgrade, it would be no more than MS-61, which gets you nowhere. I agree with Physicsfan. It could come back as "cleaned." It's got hairlines and dull spots in the reverse fields.
Don’t trust your feelings on this one. I think you’d lose money if you played the crack out game. My registry Trade Dollar is an AU58 and there’s a good reason why I don’t even look at low grade MS coins.
I think the grouped hairlines in the left obv field would likely lead to a "cleaned" designation. If not I don't see a realistic possibility of a significant upgrade.
The hairlines are immediately noticeable, but it’s such a good looking coin! Also the 6 digit serial number on the slab is a plus.
Just look at the domain name, which is eBay.com - no worries here (from a technical point of view at least ) I’d always verify though if the hyperlink target corresponds to the shown link text.
The seller has it listed twice and at a lower price. I would like to know what Breen-5806 is. I found it Tall CC: Breen-5806. Mintmark 1.17 mm high; .5 mm spacing between C's. Minor varieties. Very common, but usually seen in low grades. Very few seen Uncirculated.

I think it could come back cleaned or spot removed. Or also au 58. This is a coin I’d absolutely have to see in hand
