AnkurJ · January 29, 2013 12:49PM

Looks very nice and original! Nice pick up!

LogPotato · January 29, 2013 12:50PM

You have a great eye for crusty goodness.

stealer · January 29, 2013 12:53PM

Nice one! It has great surfaces, although I think the grade is a little optimistic. I love that date and MM and can only hope to own one someday.

coindeuce · January 29, 2013 12:59PM

I'm tellin' your wife you found another woman. Then you'll have to give the little one up to me if'n you wanna live.

LanceNewmanOCC · January 29, 2013 1:07PM

you suck! Its very nice!

hchcoin · January 29, 2013 1:31PM

I thought this was going to be a Morgan. I like yours much better than a Morgan.

OGDan · January 29, 2013 1:40PM

Very sweet! That's a great coin to tuck away for a while.

Tough coin

steveben · January 29, 2013 2:14PM

that's a great look. nice coin!

DDR · January 29, 2013 3:12PM

Very nice. It's tough to find a problem-freem circulated 78-CC Trade dollar. I like it.

coinlieutenant · January 29, 2013 6:44PM

Nice pick up Mike. Great looking coin. What is the spot? Ink?

Lol.

Very handsome piece. Nice. Congrats!

SaorAlba · January 29, 2013 7:35PM

Very nice - curiously one of about 2-3 type coins I have never owned an example of, the other being a shield nickel and a 20c piece.

Flatwoods · January 29, 2013 7:57PM

Very nice.

STONE · January 29, 2013 8:08PM

I love that!

lordmarcovan · January 29, 2013 8:16PM

That coin bears a startling resemblance to the very first Trade dollar I ever owned.

PCI put mine in a green label VF35 holder (this alone should tell you how long ago that was). NGC later XF40-ed it.

Mine had the same color and look, but was an 1875-CC. Of course it was a much more common date than yours.

Great pickup! I don't blame you for tuckin' that one away.

<< <i>is this from the lot of 699 coins you sent off? >>

Zounds! Even if I submitted nothing but circulated pocket change zincolns, and the TPGs had a special "Dollar Daze" $1.00 submission rate, I doubt I could afford the grading fees, let alone the coins!

Sure will be fun to see how they do, though, eh?

coinlieutenant · January 29, 2013 8:19PM

It isn't distracting to me...just wondering what it was...I think the coin is quite lovely...

crypto79 · January 29, 2013 8:59PM

That coin is perfect in every way, great coin as Dan said to hold and cherish for some time.

tydye · January 29, 2013 9:07PM

Thanks everyone for the compliments on my trade $.

Also Lance must of stuttered - I had 69 coins in for grading not 699. I was waiting for 2 months for the economy part and they finally hit yesterday

TwoSides2aCoin · January 29, 2013 9:12PM

Love trade dollars... I just don't like to hype them up too much because of you know who and you know who and you know who is collecting them, too

TennesseeDave · January 30, 2013 8:35AM

Thats a beautiful coin and I love the look. I also just added a 78-CC to my collection as well and in the same grade.They're not an easy coin to find as nice as that one. Congrats.

123cents · January 30, 2013 8:42AM

1878-CC Trade Dollar is the key. Congrats!

alefzero · December 3, 2021 5:56PM

*** OLD THREAD WARNING ***

....but I had to show my 1878-CC chopmarked Trade dollar too. It is also in a graded PCGS VF35 holder. I traced 9 total graded ones (8 PCGS and 1 NGC), and have attributed the die pairs of 7 of them. The OP one here is the more common one, if four examples is at all common. The one with the far right shifted mint mark is twice as rare, with two represented. Mine is the only example of another die pair. The last of four die pairs I have catalogued for the date has none of which I am aware.

Che_Grapes · December 3, 2021 6:06PM

AMAZING coin!!!
Who needs a wife with a coin like that?

I mean, priorities matter, right?

kaz · December 3, 2021 7:02PM

Nice! I have a 35 too, not chopped.

jdimmick · December 3, 2021 7:06PM

Nice original and tough date

the original Post!

HoledandCreative · December 3, 2021 9:42PM

Since mine is different. It wouldn't straight grade for some reason.

HoledandCreative · December 3, 2021 9:43PM

Oops!

joeykoins · December 3, 2021 10:51PM

Beautiful Specimen of coin History!
I'm glad you're keeping her. Lol

ricko · December 4, 2021 6:20AM

CC Trade dollars, with a chop or two, are great collectibles. I have shown mine here many times before. A favorite among my coins. Cheers, RickO

Crypto · December 4, 2021 1:39PM

I saw that on eBay, nice pick up

You're lucky since I was in the process of pulling trigger on BIN when you snagged it. Or maybe I'm the lucky one, given the price
