[QUOTE="grading an inheritance, post: 3156337, member: 96929"]So it has taken me a lot longer than expected to get some good photos of my grandpa's collection. I have the afternoon off and finally got a decent number of good pictures of some of the coins so I'll be posting them and hopefully getting some help to hone my grading abilities. This coin was incredibly difficult to get a decent picture of but here is the best I could do: [img]https://i.imgur.com/lEAWuk4l.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/T8AnFTvl.jpg[/img] It is the only trade dollar in the collection, so I am having an even harder time guessing an approximate grade than I am with some of the other coins as I do not have any comparisons in hand. I'm also worried that it might have been cleaned but since I do not have any others to compare it with, I am mostly basing that on the fact that its luster is VERY different from the Morgan dollars but that may just be inherent in the coins... What are people's thoughts?[/QUOTE]
