  I have no idea, but I wouldn't be surprised if @cardinal knows... or owns it

  Neat coin but I'd rather save up and buy one with three leaves.

  Hope is it that Bruce knows every early silver dollar so quickly! It's Tradedollar nut thing.

  Because the crappy MS65’s cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars when they sold for low prices and destroyed the market for high end for the grade coins. Kinda seared into my memory...

  Try the mid circulated grade Barber market if ya really want to Yeah...not on the same dollar level but the penalties bite just as hard on a percentage basis if you want to be in a hurry to sell.

  It is gorgeous, but MS-65 might be one point too high. It does have some obvious envelope or cabinet friction.

  One of the limiting facts for these coins is the strike. The type coin in my collection is only graded EF-40, but it has a fair amount of luster in the protected areas. I happened upon a Mint State example of the same variety in a Heritage sale. (1795 Bolender 1, I can’t remember the Bowers number). The coin didn’t have that much more detail in the hair than my piece has. Some of these coins were almost “struck in EF” and circulation took it down from there.

  Here is an example of what I mean. Here is my piece graded EF-40.

  
  

  Here is a piece from a Heritage Auction which NGC graded MS-61.

  
  

  Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

  There aren't but so many 18th century U.S. issues in gem holders.

  Wow! I love to look at a coin like this, even though it is way far out of my league.
