<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 889088, member: 7638&quot;]The seller says this coin was found in a box in the attic of an old house. I have no reason to doubt this; it has a very dark, and original patina. It&#039;s so hard to find Trade Dollars that haven&#039;t been messed with. Anyway, after some questions/answers I felt comfortable enough to place a strong bid and won it on eBay.&nbsp; 1874-P, XF IMO, although a TPG would probably knock it down for the dark toning. Nice P mint trade dollars pre-1877 are not easy to find.(Dang! lint on the reverse!)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Trade%20Dollars/1874-PTradedollarobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Trade%20Dollars/1874-PTradedollarrev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In hand, it has prooflike reflectance under all the toning. The axial images give a better idea of this:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/TradeDolar1874-Pobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/TradeDolar1874-Prev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
