I voted fake, although I would rather have a choice of"probably fake". I don't like the shape of the letters and mintmark on the rev, and the...
Thanks for the generous giveaway!
How about the Connecticut?
[IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG]Don't have anything for '93 or '94 (Yet!)
Hard to read the cheek due to toning, but I think I see some marks. My grade would be 64, but I will guess that it graded 66. I do like the look
..
NIce detail, looks like fresh dies.
SS66's 78S DDR looks genuine from the photos provided. Jack's 78cc can be immediately outed as fake by the type 1 rev. If all you had to go by...
Trying to authenticate Trade Dollars especially circulated or chopmarked examples is often vexing. Allowing for marks from circulation I give this...
Here's mine, also a I/II [IMG][IMG]I believe it has the same die crack on the rev under TRADE DOLLAR as the coin in the OP
76 P PL is fairly common, I believe. The I/II variety is scarce but doesn't command a premium. I think that one's a nice 45. That's a good...

On the obverse I see signs of a past cleaning, and removal of some crust under the ear.

Thanks for the recommendation. I don't own a copy as yet, I'm holding out for the definitive Trade Dollar reference, which Joe Kirchgesser has...
Nickels are just a gateway drug, Randy. Next thing it's bust halves, classic commems, and, yes, early copper. I said it. Just say no, Randy.
What's the likelihood that coins could be stored in old paper like that for decades and show no toning whatever? Doesn't pass the sniff test for me.
Well, before the grade was revealed, I was going 66 because I didn't see any marks on the large planar areas of the obverse or the sails on the...
I'll guess 66. great luster and looks "never messed with."
62 is such an odd grade, but I think on the TruViews I see a fair amount of chatter in the R obv field that may account for it. Lovely coin!
