[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 742598, member: 7638"]Hi Rusty, thanks for the comments. All I have are Bowers' book on Silver Dollars, and Vol.1 of his encyclopedia of Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars (fairly cheap without vol.2, which is Morgans, which I don't need), and Breen. I am not a member, but the Seated Coin Collectors' Society has all sorts of resources (the Gobrecht Society) and keoj on the C.U. forums is a recognized expert.. and Tradedollarnut too. This coin has an interesting cud on the right wing of the eagle- it appears to be progressively enlarging over time, so mine appears to be a LDS. (not to beat a dead horse, but this is actually a very nice looking coin, with a lot of luster. Since higher grade TD's are quite scarce, I think that is why this one graded, despite the hairlines.
