Is this PCGS slabbed Trade Dollar labeled correctly?

This Trade Dollar is labeled as a Proof by PCGS (see photos). The date is heavy and is shown with the 18 touching (like many of the non-proof coins). All photos of Proofs that I have seen show the 18 in the date as separated. There is no Proof surface between the eagle's claw and branch on this coin which appears to be an attribution point for the normal date Proof, but this coin has a heavy date. Would appreciate any help.

    What I like on this coin is the "dot" placed on the "M" of "America" for some reason. :) I'll get back to you.

    So that dot may be a super secret mint tracking device to catch a dubious person? Do tell. Peace Roy

    IMHO, I do not think the coin is authentic.

    That “comma” after “GRAINS” should be dot-like.

    Compare to CoinFacts:

    What does the rest of the slab and label look like? Are they authentic PCGS?

    Compare to CoinFacts:

    Unfortunately, You have chosen an image of an 1877 T$ struck with dies from a completely different reverse hub. Perhaps that's why they don't match. :wink:

    I stand corrected. Thanks @Insider2. I think I found one of your pics from CW, too.
