Wow, thank you all for this help! It is very very helpful and much appreciated. I think it is genuine. when I get around to it, I may send to ANACS. The person I bought this from specializes in Trade dollars and has many proofs PCGS slabbed after he purchases them raw (outside of my type set budget though) I really feel this isn't a fake. The luster in hand convinces me, but the differing opinions will be noted if I send it in. Edited by Steelers72

What do you guys think of the toning? A few collectors from another forum saw the pictures and believe it is AT.

I also posted this coin on the PCGS forums, and a Trade dollar expert believes it to be genuine. Also, he believes this is likely AT, and even showed me one he owns with the same toning. Apparently its "twin" and possibly done by the same person.   Edited by Steelers72

Personally I think it's natural, but who am I to say anything I'm not an expert  . I love the look though. |

AT or not, that is a knockout coin.

AT or not, that is a knockout coin. Thanks! I like the look of the coin. Some said $100 is a high price for it, which I disagree with based on market values for T$ right now. I paid around $350 for it, so I intend on keeping unless it comes back from a TPG with problems, which I will get around to doing soon as I wasn't around to do it. Appreciate all the help/comments thus far will keep updated |

I agree with the AT, but sometimes AT coins get a straight grade.

As promised, I wanted to update all those who participated in this discussion (more of a debate). I sent it into ANACS for grading. It graded and came back MS-61!  Edited by Steelers72

Congratulations!  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Wow! That turned out to be a great buy. It looks like chesterb is eating crow on this one. As promised and since I put my big foot in my mouth, pm me your information and I will pay the grading fees as we all learned something on this coin.
