If the pictures are close to accurate this is a very good looking coin. LINK Drool, Drool.

    Absolutely incredible coin, and I'm one of those people who doesn't care too much for the T$ look image.

    From the pictures it looks much better than a PR63. There might be some haze on the obverse at about 10:00, but I can't really see anything else that would knock it down. I guess there is something that is not showing up in the images.

    I'd give you the world, just because...

    Speak to me of loved ones, favorite places and things, loves lost and gained, tears shed for joy and sorrow, of when I see the sparkle in your eye ...
    and the blackness when the dream dies, of lovers, fools, adventurers and kings while I sip my wine and contemplate the Chi.

    I like trade dollars and that is stunning.

    I'm curious why the grade is so low. It doesn't appear to have a rub.

    More likely than not because it's got severe hairlines.

    I just spent some time looking other PR63 Trade Dollars on the Heritage site, and I believe that listing photo is hiding a lot of "stuff". He has used a diffusion dome (maybe even a lamp shade) to turn the proof surface black and hide the marks. Or else it has been post processed.

    This is one I bought recently and it looks pretty nice also. Care to guess the grade? It might surprise you.

    I'm no good at grading a proof like that, but it looks better than the PR63s I've been seeing. So I would guess PR64.

    Here is the point. My coin is Pcgs PF62 Deep Cameo and has a lot of hairlines. A picture does not usually show hairlines that you can see in person.
