<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mint Mark, post: 2939161, member: 3321&quot;]I am a firm believer in the old expression, &quot;Buy the coin, not the grade.&quot; I recently picked up an 1876S Trade Dollar which is in a newer PCGS slab graded &quot;Genuine&quot; along with &quot;DevEngvd&quot;. I was unable to find anything about the meaning of &quot;DevEngvd&quot;. I assume that &quot;Envgd&quot; means &quot;Engraved&quot;. But what is &quot;Dev&quot;? I could understand &quot;Obv&quot; or &quot;Rev&quot;. But I have no idea what &quot;Dev&quot; means. I even emailed PCGS about it but I never received a response from them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was unable to find any evidence of engraving on either side of the coin. But, apparently, someone at PCGS saw it. It&#039;s an &quot;AU Details&quot; coin and, again, I bought it because the price seemed reasonable and it looks darned pretty to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
