Thanks for the opportunity to show off my prized Trade $1 I bought from J.J. Teaparty again.
And once again a special shout out to Crypto for telling me to send her to PCGS for attribution.
MS62_DDO FS-101
From CoinFacts...............................
Ron Guth: The 1877 Double Die Obverse Trade Dollar is a distinctive variety caused when the die was hubbed twice, with each punch slightly out of rotation from the other. The doubling is most visible on the letters of LIBERTY, on the top of the cotton bale upon which Liberty sits, the right end of the scroll (particularly under TRUST), and on the final star. Surprisingly, this variety does not command much of a premium despite its scarcity. PCGS has graded only four examples as of March 2011, three of which are Mint State, and the finest of which is a single MS-63.
As of now, there are ten coins in the Pops, and the finest is still the single MS63, followed by my single 62.
@bolivarshagnasty.... The obverse of that 50 New Pence is fan-freakin'-tastic.... that image of Queen Elizabeth is very, very nice. A very nice image of a great Queen....That is a work of art. Cheers, RickO

RickO, I always knew you were a closet toner fanatic. LOL. I purchased that coin along with another within minutes of them being put up on ebay. Seller had them priced very reasonable. They are both in my Modern Toned Proof showcase.
@bolivarshagnasty ...as you well know, I am not a fan of tarnish, but that coin is like a work of art....really exceptional.... Congratulations on a nice specimen for your collection. Cheers, RickO
This is an amazing coin! It's almost impossible to find a nicely toned one.
And yours is both sides!
I have looked for years and still haven't found one.
Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Thanks Stef! I was blown away by this and it looks even better in person! I paid a pretty penny but it is worth every cent.
