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 ... ?
Some nice Trade dollars shown here. I love @skier07's and @Tramp's toned examples.
A former "GotTheBug" coin from CRO and recent GFRC "gem" - "Just buy it now!" coin with golden loden green toning. I'm not a Trade dollar collector, but this coin glows for an XF45.

Great coin. I remember bidding on it and what I thought was a semi nuclear snipe was dust in the wind.
I was prepared to bid higher than CAC price guide and here's why. I'm guessing this one entered circulation only a few years after 1883. Color is evident beneath the grey tone and I thought what a great way to own a proof Trade that I otherwise could not afford in a higher grade. Also both TPG's have graded circulated Trades but most have been cleaned or are damaged in some way so I think it is a good value and a truly rare coin. In my opinion older coins such as these are under rated with a CAC sticker and often sell for higher than listed values. Maybe folks over at Greysheet are missing the boat on these.

Mint State.

Beautiful coin! The single, clear chop and type 2 reverse makes it one of the most appealing 75-Ss I’ve seen.
62? They don’t know how to grade choppies anymore
Not high grade but one of the coolest trade dollars I own.

Nice coin and a tough find with the type 2 reverse!
