Not my coin, but it could be if I wanted to live on the streets.

Guess the grade:

    i just get too lost in it's beauty to defile it with a grade

    for the most part...it's all about the coin...not the yholder

    My guess would be MS-64. It all depends upon the luster and the overall look. It's impossible to pin down a specific MS grade from a couple of photos.

    pf65 is my guess and a need for a closer look on the back of the eagles head at the scratches that have been covered up by something.

    Now looking it up, this is the novodel pr65 cameo cac $1 that heritage sold in 2012.
    may the fonz be with you...always...

    PF65 struck in the 1870s on Trade dollar planchets

    Agree with crypto as that's definitely a proof and not a business strike.

    Agree. Don't have my references at hand, but my first thought was that it was one of the Proof Restrikes.

    I hate to play Guess The Grade with such small images. Can't you make them larger? image

    i agree, nice coin for sure image

    Im going to guess Proof again , maybe a 66. This is one coin that gets lost because of the 1804 dollar, but it shouldn't.
    I think there are Proofs from 1800 1801 and 1802 ?

    The piece was not struck in 1802 as the rims are technically not the same as the process used in that year. It is a novodel stuck at a later date.

    My guess is the coin is a MS 63, but I have seen 65s that look like this. Look guys answer me on this those denticles are the norm for a Proof coin?
    Anyway the picture is too darn big.

    Look if you want to know more about this coin.

    Very cool...but CAM seems like a generous designation at least based on the bad pics posted here.

    I'll go SP-66 and over the top beautiful.

    I guess not.image

    Having see the full slab, I still think that the coin is a 64 grade piece. It has too many marks and hairlines to grade any higher, and there appears to be some cloudy areas in the fields.
