That's right, and I'm sure everyone here will have their own opinion about whether the overall designation "Best of Type" should go to this coin or to an MS-69 circulation strike. All I can say is I know which I would rather own, and show, and whatever your opinion, I would love to hear.

    I would take TDN's 1876 MS Trade Dollar, PCGS 67, I think. It is not the highest graded circulation strike, but is has the most awesome eye appeal of any Trade Dollar I have ever seen. The coin is breathtaking in person.

    I would take the NGC PR69 trade dollar - utterly amazing coin and ex Knoxville. A close runner up is the ex Silberman PCGS PR67 Cameo that was in the grading finals. I graded the coin PR68 and it would bring that value easily.

    As far as Mint State coins go, I have two favorites:

    Steve,

    That is absolutely one of the most beautiful coins if not the most
    beautiful coin I have ever saw in the hobby, the business, at any
    show or collection. image

    I think the trade dollar you display with the rosey and lovely light
    acqua tones is one of the finest toned coins I have had the
    pleasure of observing. I tend to place coins in two catagories
    toned and non-toned. Steve and yourself have given us all a
    rare treat tonight.

    Perhaps I should've done a better population report for everyone. Looking at the registries, I find nothing competitive from PCGS. By the most updated NGC count, I get some 68*s but only 2 PR68-UCAMS (including this), then a 1 PR-69 not-CAM, and no circulation strike 69s. That was an error, please permit me to acknowledge. On principle, for the frost I still prefer a PR68UCAM to a PR69 (also I wonder whether it would really cross to PCGS as a 69?), as a Morgan Dollar collector might. In practice, I would love to see the PR69 and find out.

    I am thrilled to have recently bought my first proof trade dollar. After collecting for years, I decided a few months ago that I was going to treat myself to something really nice. So I considered all the well known cool coins that I could buy for about $4,000 (svdb, 55 d.die, 3 leg buffalo, 16-d dime, etc) and concluded that I wanted either a proof seated or trade dollar. Here is my result:

    Great discussion, but before this becomes the permanent Trade Dollar forum, I think I would like to close the thread, at least on this board. Enjoy the pictures, and more neat stuff to come, and thanks!!
