The Mint-Mark is slightly closed at the top and E Plurubus Umun is worn pretty good which is consistent with a Good-Very Good Grade ......

Yet the coin looks like a solid Fine-VF coin .... Something's fishy in Denmark ....

Without in hand hard to say from two pics and even in hand, I may not be t be able to tell .... Easy way to find out, take to local coin dealer!

I've only bought one Trade dollar that was raw...worried until I had it graded at AU details....Buy a Certified one!! I have weighed some good fakes that just didn't weigh correctly!

The thing sure has a weird tone for the wear, even if cleaned ..... Anyone else think the color is off?

I think it looks OK, but it's certainly a details coin because of the yellow stains and the possible cleaning. What's it weigh?
