I'm such a nice guy, so I'm going to give other forum members a chance to bid on this beauty.

    "XF PLUS AU" = garbage.

    The sad part is that he will probably get bids.

    The edge of this coin is square and has a much luster as the front.

    This is so true and yet so sad for the state of our hobby at the same time.

    Why is this coin so shiny? for an XF. Can a coin be XF and AU at the same time? Peace Roy

    Nobody's mentioned that a perfectly minted U.S. Trade $1 has been destroyed forever. :(

    Glad you made me read that, RickO......some real humor in the seller's words.

    This coin has AU detail and luster. I can not say it is BU because I can not prove it has not been in circulation. The edge of this coin is square and has a much luster as the front. coin you see is coin you will receive. It is a 1877-S TRADE DOLLAR. starting at 189. good luck
