One of the more interesting lots of the Pogue Part 7 sale, a poor 1 Trade Dollar

I just have to chuckle in admiration. What a workhorse that one was.

(Thank you for posting.)
Interesting to have so much wear with smooth rims - doesn't take much of a drop to ding them up.
I hope that coin sells for $500. Looks more like FR02 to me.

FWIW you can’t really get these certified, either because they are light (in weight) and/or you can’t say where minted.
That's bringing down the average per-lot sale price!
Sooo, not being certified it is not in a slab that cites the Pogue Provenance. But perhaps Pogue used this coin as his pocket piece. Provenance existed before TPGS, so you can share a cherished possession with Pogue, with this action acting as your COA.

Pretty nice coin. I wonder if PCGS declined to slab it if the mintmark couldn't be identified.
I always thought it was strange that TPGs will slab errors without grades/mintmarks but not lowballs without grades/mintmarks.
Looks like a long term pocket piece.... Some people cherish these old coins....Cheers, RickO
I’m not sure if it’s that, so much as they are light in weight and the TPGS’s are generally very skeptical of the series already.
PCGS declined to slab one of mine for this reason, even with the MM area still visible.
It’s probably impossible to certainly authenticate a coin this worn, but I doubt that that was the issue in this case. The coin just looks too right, and the financial risk of slabbing it would have been minimal. Most likely just that the mintmark is worn out.
BTW, I think the Pogue provenance on this piece is really cool. More than any of the six and seven-figure gems he owned, this coin demonstrates the love he had for our hobby.

Probably worth $1000 as a Gold CAC, but I see it as more of a high end PO01.

Estimate of $100 - $150 on an opening bid of $70. Included below as I'm not sure if Stack's removes estimates after the auction has completed, like I've seen on other sites.
