As a poor student , I do not have enough money to buy a good camera. So iPhone 12 is the best for me to take a photo.

Weird grade
Well , the coin is a proof struck in hand but the die was not the proof die
Very attractive coin, never seen a grade like that although apparently it may be coming for the business strike transitional obverse 76-Ps.
I know some people think that there are some semi proofs but that’s a bold hypothesis without some sort of documentation. Weird PCGS just accepted it and now holders it. I had a hammered DMPL 73s where is my SP holder
11.5$ Southern Dollars, The little “Big Easy” set
I saw a few of the pieces called proof like on the label is only because of the part of the coin is PL. Coins usually have the metal flow or other issues.
The 2 SP coin graded by PCGS are from the same die. I put the 64 one with my other proof T$1 together and I found the only different thing is the weakly struck for the star around 3 O'clock.
The 1874’s are documented.

Interesting grade, never heard of such a thing with the Trade Dollar sector
I’m not sure if this link will work from the forums, but here is another 1874 semi proof with some backstory.
The CoinFacts photo for the SP64 looks quite different than the photo posted here.

Just like I said , my poor iPhone 12 can not take a good pic. That’s why my grading fee will include the photographer’s salary . Aha!
