Gold CAC Trade Dollar

Crusty · July 18, 2020 7:23PM

Have to thank @Pickwickjr for this one. When he called and said he found a nice gold CAC coin that would look good in his collection. I had no clue he was busting my balls and he was actually talking about a coin for me. The last coin I expected was a Trade Dollar. Luckily as soon as it listed he instantly bought it. He didn’t want to waste time calling me so I could buy her. As I’m writing this there is just 7 gold CACd Trade dollars across the entire series. So when a reasonably priced gold CAC Trade Dollar post it certainly won’t last long. It just so happens I still needed this date for my set. So having the gold sticker was a nice bonus. Thanks again Pickwickjr, Just 6 more coins left and my set will be complete.

Looks like a very nice coin. Pickwickjr deserves an ataboy for the good deed he did for you.

Looks very nice!

Common date in uncommon condition. I never saw many trades in soap bars or rattlers for that matter. Not many trades were prime collectibles during that era. Very nice

That’s a really nice looking coin. It would have been a great “guess the grade” candidate.😉

Great eye appeal. I would be proud to own that coin.

Wow ... beautiful coin and toning!
I'd say the ... very upper end 62!

I’d say that based on the pictures provided (which granted, are probably masking flaws) the MS62 grade looks silly.

That's a nice piece all the way around. Congrats

Thanks for all the compliments guys. There is no doubt about it Pickwickjr really did me a huge favor. He knows I wouldn’t hesitate to do the same for him which is how a good friendship works.

My grading experience is limited to the XF45-AU58 range when it comes to trade dollars. I’m not sure if it is a nice 62 or could maybe get into a higher graded slab. As long as I own her which will likely be the next few decades she will remain in this old fatty holder with her gold bean. My original goal was an all CAC approved date and mint mark set within the XF45-AU58 grade range. This coin is obviously graded higher then the rest of my set but I was willing to make the exception for her.
