Cool
I guess that would be a score if you are looking for a very poor example of a Trade dollar or if you are chasing the low pops.
Congrats, I guess.

nice i like
Neat. You sure that’s not an S?
Wish it was a CC...
Maybe it is, who can say. There are 73-CCs with very weak MM, even on AU coins.
Amazes me on what some people collect.
Now that is a coin to be proud of.
Nice coin, but I'm surprised that got a PO01 and not a FR02.

Sweet, congratulations !!!
I love it! This was probably a pocket piece.
"You can't get just one gun." "You can't get just one tattoo." "You can't get just one 1796 Draped Bust Large Cent."
I love lowballs. This is no exception. Great looking coin!
I am learning, so if you can tell me why you feel this.....
Should I send to CAC? Not really sure if I can grade a P01 coin "high end" for the grade.
To me it looks like the obverse has too much detail to be a PO01, the reverse yes. Either way, I really like the coin.

Gold sticker would make it worthless.
I had a '96 10c in PCGS FR02 that wouldn't sticker, and then went to AG3 when I tried for PO01. This area is a lot less tricky than the top end, but there are still traps.
Colonel J, you and I have handled a few better Trade Dollars than this over the years, but we can still appreciate coins with good honest wear!
I sold a lot of stuff to the Chapmans as either "new" or "used". I remember I told them to call this one a "superb semi-slick" in one of their auctions. Gems brought double and even triple the price of this sublime jewel.
would fit nicely in the website presentation.
We've handled a lot better, but few nicer
So would "Rode hard and put away wet", possibly suggesting a Pony Express angle.
I would looooooove to hear how well you did with the rest of the package, but I (uhhh, oh yeah.....) have a wedding to attend

Why slab?

IMO, the "S" we can see in the area of the mintmark is too large. If you move your eye at a forty-five-degree angle about 3" (on the magnified image) you should see the proper size "S" between the wing tip and claw.
This is a dealer who sold a set of $20 Libs for $10M+
And yet you dare to question his methods?
He spent $20 on a chance it would pop-flop and it did. And he had fun!
If he charges for shipping he can likely get his money back
I've had the coin for years and finally threw it on an ECON package as the last coin on the submission. BTW the all the other coins on the submission graded 64-67!
Yawn........
Did I spell that right, @TDN? 
I'd love to hear more about that, but I've got to dress up and watch a rerun of that wedding.
