I have an opportunity to buy this for 150. I think it’s a fair deal. Any red flags for any of you? I didn’t get a pic of the reverse but it’s in better condition. What grade do you think it is? I’m thinking a high grade fine.
I have to ask some questions. Where are you getting this from and why not the reverse? I wouldn't do it because it's low for this year on the value. How much does it weigh? Trade dollars are highly faked and with lousy pics, no way! Only graded for me, on trade dollars anyways. 1877 Trade Silver Dollar Coin Value Prices, Photos & Info
One of those generally couldn't be found much cheaper for the condition. VF20 bid is $265, F15 $245; most cleaned trade dollars can achieve that. Obtaining problem-free is just like obtaining a straight-grade Seated dollar - a really hard task. I would buy that up in no time to try and resell. Just me, of course, but they are a difficult series.
I forgot to take a pic of the reverse i stopped in to buy a couple things heading to a coin auction and saw it walking out th3 door I’m going back Friday to get it. I know the owner it checks out on all the easy test he said but i will do it myself.
Not being mean but if you can point me to the right place i can buy these for 150 even clean at this grade.
I'm just saying. Offer $125 and see what happens but if you made an oral offer then you're stuck, almost. ( BTW: You haven't seen mean until you enter my house and meet my wonderful wife ). Just kidding hun! What? Clean out the dishwasher? Okay. Got to go!).
It doesn't look bad to me. It does have several scratches, but if I was looking to buy one, it is not unpleasant to look at. The price isn't bad either. The prices on Trade dollars just keeps rising.
we didn't agree on any price. I bought about 200 in other coins, and he told me he would take 150 and I told him I would think about it. If I was committed to going to the coin auction I was heading to I would have bought it.
