[QUOTE="PlanoSteve, post: 25379512, member: 91609"]Well Josh, I think you did fine. I was not impressed with your first pic (of the reverse), but the second one looked much better. And the edge & obverse look like a very decent coin, albeit, the graffiti & cleaning are problematic for some (not for me :D). While I have very many Morgans & Peace Dollars, (I [B][I]have[/I][/B] to have them; it's a disease :p), I've never forced the opportunity to obtain a trade dollar specimen, but if I ever do, I will probably do the same as you did. If I had your coin, I would probably not put it aside, but carry it as a pocket piece until it returns to a "more natural state". (If you delve into more trade dollars, you would probably be more discerning, but I like this one. I know how pics on a computer screen generally do not do justice to a coin.) It's your coin & your collection...enjoy! :singing:[/QUOTE]
