I was scrolling through CoinFacts earlier and this coin caught my eye.
Anyone know the provenance of this coin?

I have no idea, but I wouldn't be surprised if @cardinal knows... or owns it

Neat coin but I'd rather save up and buy one with three leaves.

Hope is it that Bruce knows every early silver dollar so quickly! It's Tradedollar nut thing.

Because the crappy MS65’s cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars when they sold for low prices and destroyed the market for high end for the grade coins. Kinda seared into my memory...

Try the mid circulated grade Barber market if ya really want to Yeah...not on the same dollar level but the penalties bite just as hard on a percentage basis if you want to be in a hurry to sell.

It is gorgeous, but MS-65 might be one point too high. It does have some obvious envelope or cabinet friction.

One of the limiting facts for these coins is the strike. The type coin in my collection is only graded EF-40, but it has a fair amount of luster in the protected areas. I happened upon a Mint State example of the same variety in a Heritage sale. (1795 Bolender 1, I can’t remember the Bowers number). The coin didn’t have that much more detail in the hair than my piece has. Some of these coins were almost “struck in EF” and circulation took it down from there.

Here is an example of what I mean. Here is my piece graded EF-40.

Here is a piece from a Heritage Auction which NGC graded MS-61.

There aren't but so many 18th century U.S. issues in gem holders.

Wow! I love to look at a coin like this, even though it is way far out of my league.
