I don't think you'll find a prettier toned AU58 Trade $1 than my new 1878-S

Goldbully

Phil did a great job imaging this beauty.

The coin appears to be proof like in hand and exhibits lovely cartwheel, it can't be captured in a photograph.

Double sided iridescence and deep dark golden fields make this a fantastic Trade $1.

There are several pretty toned Trade $1's in CoinFacts, but when I compare my 1878-S Trade $1 to the others.....well,

she really stands out!!

Post your stand out Trade $1 that you really cherish.




Note, put her in a Secure Plus holder.

Sellers pics, displays old holder...........

Err, is that a typo or am I missing another abbreviation there? CBH = Capped Bust Half to me.

As for the original post, it doesn't look bad but it's not really quite my... flavor. >>



Oooops, thank you Fade to Black....I'll fix that now.

I have the Trade $1 in my hand and a CBH on my desk.....it's tough getting up in years.

That's a beautiful Trade Dollar! I don't have anything even close in the color department.

But, I like this one a lot:

Here's one of my eye appealing favorites from my Type Coin collection...

1876-S AU Trade Dollar

Stuart, was that coin from eBay?....I think I may have bid on it.

Your coin is gorgeous.

coinkat

I like it...And it is quite attractive. It is a wonderful coin.

Beauty has a subjective component...so I am not willing to push this beyond my own personal taste.

Thanks GoldBully. -- In reply to your above quoted question, I purchased the Trade Dollar posted earlier in the thread, this past October from a Heritage Auction.

The coin possesses satiny to semi-prooflike mint luster in the fields, with lightly contrasting frosty cameo devices.
When the coin is rotated in light, the blue brown toning is beautifully illuminated by the reflected light that emanates through it.

Fantastic Trade Dollars posted in this thread! Beautiful!!

This is my XF40 ...

..... sounds like a challenge.

Your coin is pretty nice. I like this one too:

All these are nice looking.

Nice one.
I guess that any slab without prongs may be considered old these days.

Nice!

I've posted a few other favorites in the past, so here's a new one. The toning is unique, more like what you might find on a proof Trade Dollar. This makes sense, as I know that at least the reverse was struck using a proof die, and likely the obverse as well.

This one's got a small spatter of blue, and is the only T$ I own with any color other than silver and brown.

I love it. I'm suspicious of the image color. But I'll bet it's a beauty.

I know that coin before it went to ankur, it's the darker in hand but pops with light type. I was personally surprised it ended up with a sticker seeing CACs aversion to darker coins, nice for what it is though.

I am having some better images taken of my Trade Dollar, but here is what I have so far;

You must not remember the coin very well as it is not dark at all. The coin has luster which is full and booming in hand.

Don't sweat it Ankur, I don't think Crypto meant that as criticism. In fact, he was sort of defending the color, describing it as a coin that looks darker under normal lighting, then bright and colorful when put in the right light.

I should know, being the one who first submitted your nice coin to PCGS and paid for the Trueview image. This phenomenon isn't uncommon for toning on silver.

Some nice Trade $ in this thread. Its tough for me to capture the color on this one but here is mine

DDR

Gorgeous Trades everyone. I have one or two with attractive or interesting toning, but nothing to compare with this lot.

TennesseeDave

This is my favorite T$. This coin is in a 55 holder, but I think it is at least MS-62. Pcgs must have lowered the grade because the toning hides a lot of the luster.

Edited to add: I like the OP's coin a lot.

ricko

Based on the OP TruView, the coin looks better than AU58......but that could just be the photography..Cheers, RickO

Nice addition!!!

winky

Superbe coin.

So hard to find NICE AU+ trade dollars, like many of those posted on here. Mostly I see dipped out coins with
distracting hairlines and dings.

luckybucks

Great coin. It looks like dawn is breaking behind the eagle.

this one is a deep rich red on the obverse, sounds kind of odd but but when in hand looks totally natural.
