<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 11891381, member: 22377&quot;]I like that Pillar you added; the contrast is definitely appealing. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks! A Trade Dollar eluded me for many years before this one became available. I have a lower graded details example in a Dansco type set and previously owned a semi-pl one with a chopmark. That one however was cleaned. The hairlines were fairly clear at an angle (unfortunately NGC only mentioned details chop mark and not the cleaning). I sold that one for a loss but this one came around soon after (to help forget that experience). </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The territorial issues are another segment that I enjoy. I&#039;ve toyed around with doing the 1883 set for Hawaii (Dime, Quarter, Half, Dollar and maybe the 1847 cent) but I have not found the right combo of eye appeal and price for most (finally picked up a Quarter several months ago, so I&#039;m part way there).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Guatemala Peso has off the charts luster but there are plenty of nicks/small hits (along with the mark you mentioned). In US terms, it&#039;s like a baggy early strike 1881-S Morgan (luster, pl, and hits). I think 62 is a fair grade (maybe a 63 on a good day). Regardless, the eye appeal had me hooked![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
