How about a Trade Dollar post???

TennesseeDave · February 18, 2013 12:59PM

Post any Trade Dollar from your collection or as many as you wish. Any condition, chopmarked or not. Here's my latest addition. I have been searching for a decent 74-CC for quite sometime and it was much harder to find than I expected.

That is one sweet trade !....went to our local show on Sunday, specifically looking for a nice chopper...nada. So I've got nothing to show

My newest type coin in my Everyman Registry from OriginalDan

OriginalDan · February 18, 2013 3:50PM

Good idea for a thread!

I like this one, well struck for a 77 and also a DDO. AU58 CAC.

That one looks very, very familiar

From what I have seen, the DDO's always have the strongest strike for the 77 Philadelphia's.

By the way, I think it's comical that every time Crypto is away, a good trade dollar thread gets started.

I love these threads. I love every Trade Dollar pictured so far. Duiguy that 75 speaks to me. I do not own a TD.

One day I'm going to have TDN pick one out for me. The non shock and awe variety.

What's especially cool is that you would have a hard time finding anything close to the eye appeal of these coins at a show. It's really tough with Trades!

Love this one TDN, quite a unique chop on a P mint coin no less.

Purdy 78.

PipestonePete · February 19, 2013 7:15AM

My one and only....

lordmarcovan · February 19, 2013 7:18AM

This is my latest newp, from centsles, in an third-world (NNC "AU55") holder.

I liked it as a nice XF, details-wise, and the forums seemed to agree, in the recent poll thread.

I have yet to see it in hand, so we're relying on this montage of the seller's pictures for the time being.

I thought it was worth taking a chance on.

I like yours in the OP better, though, and give honorable mention to tydye's, too.

Both have more of the "CircCam" look I'm after for my VF-XF 19th century set.

Twobitcollector · February 19, 2013 7:34AM

The 1877S is now PCGS XF45

Cocoinut · February 19, 2013 8:14AM

This is my only Trade Dollar, an 1874-S graded MS62 by PCGS.

lordmarcovan · February 19, 2013 8:30AM

Here is one of two I had on the old Holey Coin Vest.

Goldbully · February 19, 2013 8:58AM

MS62 DDO FS-101

lkeigwin both your 77-S and 78-S are fantastic. I especially like the 78-S, lustrous and original but not overly crusty.

TennesseeDave · February 19, 2013 1:13PM

Here's one that I've had for a few years that I feel is undergraded by at least 5 points. It's weakly struck obverse is common for the date and mintmark and looks to be AU-58, but is in an AU-50 holder.Sorry for the different sized pics.

DDR · February 19, 2013 4:17PM

OK, I'll play... Here's one that spent a short period of time in the Orient.

TennesseeDave · February 19, 2013 9:51PM

DDR thats one of the coolest chopmarks I've seen. Looks like a fancy version of " & "

DDR · February 20, 2013 4:12AM

Yes, I really like that chopmark. I've searched and searched but have never found another Trade dollar with that particular chopmark. This coin was the first chopmarked Trade dollar I ever purchased. I think I got it for $75 on eBay. It's in a PCGS AU-58 holder. I have another 75-S chopmarked in PCGS MS-64, but I still keep this one in my Registry Set.

lordmarcovan · February 20, 2013 4:33AM

<< DDR thats one of the coolest chopmarks I've seen. Looks like a fancy version of " & " >>

Indeed a cool chopmark, and I've never seen one, either, but it doesn't look Asian to me. Looks very Western.

jmj3esq · February 20, 2013 4:37AM

This one was a PCG XF40. I cracked it and it now sits confortably in my 7070 type set.

DDR · February 20, 2013 5:00AM

Lordmarcoven: Yes, it is not your typical Chinese chopmark, but Asian merchants occasionally used western numerals, letters or symbols for chopmarks.

shish · February 20, 2013 6:49AM

This one rests in it's 20 something year old ANACS holder. Trying to keep this thread alive until Crypto returns.

grip · February 20, 2013 7:14AM

A great showing of some nice looking TD.

OriginalDan · February 20, 2013 8:56AM

Shish, that's a nice looking 73-CC!!

Here's one I have shown before in another thread, one of my favorites. Repunched date, repunched mint mark, semi-prooflike with die polishing marks, CAC. Lots of goodness.

TennesseeDave · February 20, 2013 8:57AM

Here's one that I have not shown here before that's an 1875-S/CC. It will likely end up in a genuine holder for the cut on the reverse,but still a decent example of the variety for the price I paid for it.( Just over $150 )

Edited to say: WOW!!! Dan thats a super nice 77-S

crypto79 · February 20, 2013 9:01AM

Everytime I leave the country!! I sware you guys wait for me to leave. I am back but only have access to an apple tablet and iPhone so no posting until tomorrow but great coins. I really love Carl's 74p and well all the rest of them. Great coins !!

tradedollarnut · February 20, 2013 9:33AM

OriginalDan · February 20, 2013 11:18AM

AU50's usually aren't attractive but this one is

crypto79 · February 20, 2013 11:48PM

One of the Key coins to a specialist set R6+ as a BS Type 1/1

Its more common but still a key date Type 1/2 brother

crypto79 · February 20, 2013 11:54PM

The next year had 4 different hub/die types
Type 1/1

Type 1/2 (most common)

This is a hybrid type 1/2 which is sometimes called type 1.5/2 which is very rare in BS with more research needed (PCGS VF35)

The most famous of the hub type rarities in BS

lkeigwin · February 21, 2013 12:01AM

Nice presentation, crypto! Besides the beautiful T$'s I appreciate the lessons. I knew they'd be coming.

EVillageProwler · February 21, 2013 7:17AM

Ok, I'll play. Here's one that hasn't surfaced publicly since the Eliasberg sale. This coin is famous enough for anyone who wants to research the coin on their own.

My acquisition of this coin comes with a brief story. I was sitting inside the corporate office of the dealership (they don't have a store front) I think on a Saturday. The dealer pulls out a coin and says to me that I probably won't "understand" the coin. I said, well, what is it? The dealer hands me the coin, and I smile and reply with something like "how much, you <nasty word>, do you want for this?". Done deal (in the non-RKK way).

TennesseeDave · February 21, 2013 12:08PM

Heres one I plan to submit sometime in the future.I have enjoyed looking at those posted so far.

That is an amazing coin and a great history. While not the rarest date in the absolute sense it turns scarce in UNC while absolutely impossible in gem. That looks very close to the gem level

How about a Trade Dollar post???
