According to Bowers, some of the 77-s issue have PL surfaces, especially on the obverse. And, I have never seen a Trade dollar in a holder...
I think it's a Fine. Very nice looking, original coin with great patina- nice purchase!
I would be very wary of early dollars raw, unless from a well established seller with impeccable references. fakes abound.
Is it in an ANACS "problem free" holder? The reason I ask it that I can see a sort of "halo" of frost around the devices which suggests to me...
enjoy your stay, Eduard, and have fun at the show. I look forward to a report.

Looks AU from the details, color somewhat splotchy (at least in photos) implying a cleaning and/or recoloring. I agree that this is a very neat...
Sometimes you can infer, or be certain, that a coin has been cleaned from photos, but many times you cannot. The only way to tell for certain is...
Unless the coin is in one of the anointed slabs, a numerical grade can only appear in the description, iirc.
I'm glad you like the 1872 dollar, I do too, except when you examine it with the light at just the right angle, you see the parallel hairlines...
Is the o.p. also the seller of the items posted here for discussion and listed on eBay? If these items were just "picked up" then why are they...
