What's your opinion on this Trade dollar?

Specifically re. authenticity. I don't see any red flags on that front, but since it's a raw coin and a Trade dollar, I thought I'd put it in front of a few more dozen pairs of eyes.

I’m not the expert, but it compares favorably to this one I just purchased so I think it’s real

Looks okay to me.
Not seeing any points that indicate fake LordM...... Cheers, RickO
I believe it's definitely genuine, and VF-35/XF-40
Looks gennie to these eyes.
Will it straight grade?

There's the next question. I'd be buying it for a Capital Plastics frame, so not submitting it in the foreseeable future, but that would be good to know...
There is a slight chance of an environmental damage grade, yet it will probably get a straight one.

I don't think it will straight grade, so...

I don't think it will grade in any event, since I'm not submitting it. So no CAC for me for sure, unless they put the sticker right directly on the coin! LOL

in the future, when seeking attribution/authentication, i would appreciate if you'd upload larger images. it really doesn't seem to matter on this one as i doubt there is an issue but some of us can't work our magic if once we enlarge the images it starts looking line a game of minecraft.
Coin not in hand, nor even mine yet. Whatcha see is what I've got, image-wise.
Edited to add: I did crop them, at least.
well, ok, since you like, don't have the coin in-hand and all...
yes, you get bonus points for presentation!
in the future when you type "what you see is what you get", can you please type WYSIWYG. haha, j/k
Looks like been worked on with a brush to me.

oops. i forgot to ask.
is this to be part of a circ-cam set?
Yes.
Yes, it definitely has some light scuffiness, but that looks like random circulation stuff to me rather than anything deliberate like a brushing. That's one detracting factor for sure, but I think I could live with it.
