Went to a show and got a few nice coins, a bit lower in grade than I go for unfortunately, BUT that gave leeway for me to get a coin I’ve wanted for a while: a Trade dollar!





NOTE: Found out the Trade dollar has a TV!

Always nice to get a few good coins!
All nice coin 👍
I don't usually focus on registry sets but the Trade dollar seems to have not been taken out of a person's registry set before they sold/bought the coin..!

That isn't so unusual. The folks on the registry forum have been complaining about this as well. PCGS has a process where you can let them know you have the coin and I think the old rule was they gave the previous owner three-days to release the coin before PCGS was supposed to release it for you, but you might have to supply them with a current image of the coin in the slab.
It's a little bit of a hassle, but should work out well, as least it has for me in the past and I never had to send PCGS a current image. Good luck.

Your photography is really coming along quite well.

I must have owned that Trade dollar when I was accumulating them for my books' studies. It is registered at the SSDC Registry as C-12.1. It is possible that I submitted it raw. But have thousands of them, it is hard to remember.
That's quite a coincidence!!
To help jog your memory, I checked the surrounding coins, it was seemingly submitted with 3 other coins, an 1876-S (XF details) and two 1882-CC Morgans (both MS63). Does that sound familiar?

Thank you! It's probably about as good as I can get with a phone camera

Your 1834 doesn't look cleaned enough to warrant that designation. On the other hand, it is closer to VF35 than XF40.
Neat coin regardless.
Nice haul man.
Keep up the good work.
