Here's mine, also PR62: [ATTACH]
Yes, it is the rarest type for the 1876 proof Trade Dollars. And yes, the missing lower serif on the second "L" in dollar is the key diagnostic...
Yes, they can appear after slabbing, even many years after slabbing. I had the 2011 Anniversary set with all 5 coins in PR70/MS70. They were...
Also, an authentic one would not be perfectly round...
It depends on your experience, I guess, but to an even mildly knowledgeable eye, it is an obvious fake, and not a very good one at that. Compare...

Here are the other three "Wide CCs". I have always found it interesting that the exact same reverse die was used over four different...
[ATTACH] Just keeping the ball rolling...here is the only known straight graded example (VF30) of the 1875 "Wide CC". Only 3 examples have been...
[ATTACH] From that crappy picture, you can't tell anything for sure. But...I lean towards real and I grade it XF40-XF45 details. Can't tell enough...
