Agree, AU cleaned
Very cool! I can see why you had to have that one.
You might want to check out this thread, where some real experts (meaning, not me) check out and discuss a 76 1/1 proof (weak reverse too)....
Thanks for the report, Publius2 and Insider!
I wouldn't get too caught up in the weak dentils thing. It is not an uncommon finding on trade dollars. The dentils are very consistent in...
I think it's a proof, type 2/2. the 76 proofs are interesting in that you can have 1/1, 1/2, and 2/2, as well as a transitional "1.5/2". It...

It's just too bright for a coin with that amount of wear. Should be a dull gray. Do you have a copy of Jason Poe's book? Lot's of good info on...
Nice looking coin, Eduard, and thanks for the variety education.
I went with scrape; too wide for a scratch and to shallow for a gouge. Maybe "scrouge" is a better term.
Looks like one of the Trade Dollars struck in India under British rule; they were struck on screw presses and there was a bit of twisting in the...
Hello Jack, I just got in. This appears to be an 1876-P type 2/2 which is a very scarce coin, maybe 20 to 25 known. I don't know the chopmarked...
I like 'em. After my dad died we found an ancient cardboard folder in his bank box with some Morgans in it, no doubt from the Treasury releases....
The rim bumps got my attention. Doesn't look cleaned to me.
compare to the dentils on a genuine trade dollar: [ATTACH]
