type coin pic o' the week:trade dollar (2/3/05)

1907Quarter

Got this a couple of years ago. I've seen many just like this, dark grey toned. It looks original, smells original. Question: Does this have original surfaces? Eye appeal? The pics quite accurately represent the look of the coin. MOST interested in hearing your thoughts on this one.

The real question is can you hear a "Bing" when you blow on it. That's the only way to tell if it is a counterfit or not.

The Trade dollars are nice, but it's difficult to pay attention to any of your posts with that distracting Philippine eye candy in your sigline...
