The Red Book is terrific, but my favorite coin book of all time is Numismatic Art in America-Aesthetics of the United States Coinage by Cornelius...
What year are you in?
You are correct; CAC will put a bean on a chopmarked Trade dollar. My coin is only an F15 and it has something like 31-obverse chops and three...
I guess I'll post something from Newfoundland. These have values that are extremely low, but I rarely find them with meat and original skin- [IMG]
I like the red one. The others are found with much higher frequency, in my opinion, than the red one and I think it would look neat.
PCGS will certify a chopmarked Trade dollar as problem-free in a regular holder if they think that it is otherwise fine. I have no issue with...
It should be considered your responsibility to post an image that makes the coin look on the monitor as close to how it looks in-hand as is...
I'm scratching my head on this one. You traded $50 in highly liquid silver (melt value) for a 2015 Blue Book (essentially worthless), cotton...
It sold for $2,600.
Looks AU55 to me and, even with the scratch on the shield, I like it.

Not everyone is a great numismatic photographer and the lackluster images may very well be due to lighting. What should not be debatable,...
I use Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo, but be aware that I also do this (coin dealer and coin photographer) as my full-time job.
I've attached an image of the obverse with some white balance and other edits, but it might not look like it does in-hand. Regardless, I think I...
Wow! That's pretty cool to get in change.
The white balance is clearly off, but your coin looks very frosty and has good eye appeal. I guessed MS62 because the obverse ticks were just too...
This design is nearly universally found mushy and that was one of the chief complaints by bank tellers and other businessman when the coin was issued.
Todd has more experience than I in searching for these, but it seems the 1880-S would likely be the coin of choice followed by the 1881-S and 1879-S.
They're not coins; they're counterfeits.
Yes. It is a fantastic book written by a friend.
