Hi Rusty, I haven't studied the eagle's nostrils too closely before. I find that the shape of the beak and the eye are good indicators of...
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I like the symbolism of the seated designs, even if the trade dollar is a bit stiff. I wish they had used the...
I happen to like the trade dollar design, it's just really hard to find ones that look nice. I have a couple of circulated ones that I enjoy:...
I understand that there are a number of subvarieties of the trade dollar types, but I have not studied them much at all. A member of the CU forum,...

I agree. I think a split grade is applicable here. The coin probably took a dip sometime, but otherwise appears very original. Another nice one...
From the photos, it looks MS to me. The reverse is a little ticky, but the obverse looks very nice. Assuming I am not missing some slight rub, I...
Looks like you made some good buys, those all look like quality coins to me. Congrats!
Wow! I have to keep an eye peeled for one of those. Great coin design!
About the only ones I have... but I could use more! [IMG] [IMG]
