    definitely a 1887/6, not sure which one though. The coin looks like an MS64 at least which is great for a raw coin

    1887/6, the strong variety, which is a Proof.
    The weak variety business strike just shows a curved line at the base of the 7, similar to the 1887/6 dollars..

    This is definitely a Strong Overdate, the more common one among the proofs.

    Very nice coin! image

    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
