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'll buy a set, unless the design is utterly atrocious. I agree that the 75th anniversary design is hard to beat, toned or not. [IMG] [IMG]
It looks like the real deal, an incredible find. Do you see anything about it that merits conservation? It looks original to me. Most of them have...
Did you see the MS63 Fugio he has?? (insert droolycon here)
Last one to sell on HA went for $4,025. (non-CAC) That was in March. I don't think $4,500 would be out of the question. Numismedia lists an AU58...

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]
a couple more: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
I collect them as part of a type set. Here are a few (the '37 HD was cleaned, and purchased as such). [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]...
Those look like great coins, Travis. In buying from a collector with such good taste as Lehigh, you save yourself a lot of trouble sorting through...
