Check out this 1886-S Trade Dollar!

This genuine coin was found stored in an airtight container. It was never cleaned or polished. I apologize for the mediocre photos, but from what you see, how would you grade it? I appreciate any opinions you can share. Thanks.

    What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?

    An 1886-S Trade Dollar is a rare thing indeed.

  • Looks like the same coin you already asked about

    Here

    While you may not have cleaned it, it has absolutely been cleaned by someone before it came in to your possession. I believe this has already been stated by previous respondents which for some reason you refuse to believe.
  • Yup, definitely the same coin.

    I'm curious, deloway, how you are so certain the coin has never been polished or cleaned in any way?

    Edited to say: The coin is an AU 58 from what I see of the scans...I can't see any wipe-lines just normal circulation abrasions. It also appears to have somewhat PL surfaces which would make cleaning lines jump off the coin.

    In any case, the coin looks genuine.
