<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 314806, member: 8959&quot;]Good morning gentlemen,</p><p>Can you please look at this 1861 Dollar, and tell me whether in your opinion this is a proof, or rather a circulation strike?</p><p>The dealer i bought this from was of the opinion this could be a proof issue. The edges are a bit squared, as i think is indicative of proof strikes.&nbsp; Interestingly, from what i remember reading, circulation strikes of this, and the 1862 dates are actually rarer than the proofs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As a matter of interest i remember also an article by D. Bowers where he mentioned that this, and the 1862 dollar are fairly scarce due to many of them being exported during the civil war to pay for the costs of the war.&nbsp; These civil war dates carry a great historical appeal in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is in pretty good condition, but it does have some edges dings and a small cut on liberties hair. The colour is dark grey/blue. I would say original. Please let me know also your opinions on net grade.</p><p>Thank you for your opinions.&nbsp; </p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
