PF 67 Ultra Cameo Trade Dollar?

stev32k

I received an email from NCS with an article saying they had conserved an 1880 proof Trade Dollar that graded PF 67 Ultra Cameo after conservation. I've never seen a PF 67 Trade Dollar in hand, but this seems to have more marks and hairlines than I would expect from any 67 coin - proof or business strike. I don't think I would like to pay PF 67 money for this coin, but maybe I don't know a good coin when I see one? link

I think a lot of that is probably metal flow being exaggerated in the pictures than actual contact marks.

In this case I like the before coin better, and normally I like my proofs free of any toning.

I too would question the grade... original coin was nicer but still not a 67.

Most of what's seen are lintmarks and metal flow lines. Later date trade dollars were often carelessly prepared. With that said, the picture doesn't make me want to run out and buy the coin... but proofs are impossible to judge off images.
