Many thanks for sharing... tough act to follow... sort of like Chick Webb at the Savoy back in the day...
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Pretty decent!
Is it a sin to drool all over yourself when you see coins like this one?

An amazing coin! Just beautiful.
Trade Dollars sooo tough to get pretty like that! Nice one.
Great subtle toning!

When I check that cert number, it is invalid.
Gorgeous coin
Takes a couple of days to be valid on an upgrade
Wonderful coin. Amazing.

Upgrade? WOW!
swims back to shallow end where the water is kinda yellow looking
PR68? Wow, fantastic coin!
Gorgeous coin, but the most surprising thing from the Pop Reports is that there are apparently four 1879 Trade Dollars in 68CAM? That's insane, especially considering that there are apparently only eight proof Trade Dollars in 68 or above across all dates.
Now who owns that 1878 in PR69CAM?
Wow!
I believe that’s still Bob Simpson’s coin
Ahh... there is the color - boom, as opposed to this pic:

Lost that old holder but 1 grade point up (not just a plus). Did you coordinate with JA any before upgrade on 68 cac?
Still have a spot reserved to cut out for the 1873.

No. He and I agree far more than we disagree. And as long as I personally grade the coin what it says on the holder, I’m a happy camper. I graded it exactly this from the first time I held it in my hand.
Absolute monster of a coin, and a full point upgrade to a top pop? God bless America.

Glad to see a TDN posting again.
You gotta be one of the happiest hunters in the coin world, considering the trophies you put up on the wall. Fit for a king , honestly. You know ? Like the stuff we dream about ?
Wow- what a fantastic set! Would love to see those in person!
yeah, that's nice.
This! ^
What I wouldn't give to see that coin in hand...

What does your 2nd 1880 look like that you mention in the description above? The one included in the set currently sticks out like a sore thumb, as it lacks the attractive blue toning that all the others have.
..............and I worry about if my 1926-S Buff will grade VF?
Pete
wow
It’s the very next picture
Thanks for pointing that out. Sorry I missed it the first time. I think what confused me is that the description says the 2nd coin is only a 67 cac, but the grade listed directly under the trueviews for both coins are pr67+
Bruce,
The 1878 T$1 was my coin. I sold it through GC a couple of years ago. I thought it was a 68 too.
Glad you have it now!
Yah, I should just take the 67+ cam down….but that’s a full grade point lost. Darnit
It is drop dead gorgeous and near flawless. Love that coin.
