You're closest. It sold for $55.
Everyone seemed to go high on price and grade. Maybe this does show that the PCI Red holders were conservative?

@Johndoe2000$ you're next...

 

I'll pass the posting privilege.

 

Interesting it graded as VF. I used PCGS's photos of the coin, as I really couldn't fins a grading guide, and I really would put that as a slider AU/BU, although the second set of pics shoe the cheek wear more clearly.

 

In hand I thought it was better than VF; XF or AU would likely be closer. It definitely was cleaned tough.

 

Let's continue on a Hawaii theme...here is a Hawaii Half...what is the price I paid (this one is in my collection)? grade? details or not? and reason?

 

$175
XF
Straight

 

VF 35 cleaned $140.

 

$125
XF (straight grade)

 

I'll let this run until tomorrow...the new standard seems to be 48 hours for this thread...let's get some more participation!

 

@Beefer518 was closest based on price...I paid $229...I like the look of the coin and the details do look AU to me.

@Beefer518 your lead is growing and you're up...

 

@ddddd - is the cleaning on that Hawaiian half obvious in hand? @Charles REid saw something I didn't.

Ok, this is an easy one, but the closest in price gets the win.

1875-S Trade Dollar
What did I pay for it?
Grade
Straight/Details

 

UNC Details ..Cleaned ...$275 on the Trade Dollar

 

I'm actually not fully confident. I think it's cleaned, but the surfaces don't seem to have the obvious hairlines of a cleaned coin; it almost looks semi-prooflike (but maybe that is the sign of the cleaning). It might also have been cleaned and toned over the cleaning. To me it looks fairly attractive in-hand and so I'm holding onto it.

 

So kind of like my Hawaiian Commem.

 

$450
AU-details, cleaned

 

cleaned, Au $400. I was close to saying counterfeit, but .....

 

Pretty obvious why it detailed.
$310
