I agree: pleasing coin, evenly patinated, at EF-45.

Always have to be careful with these raw since they were and are heavily counterfeited. That said, this one appears to be a type 2 obverse and a type 2 reverse which is one good sign. I don't see any pimples on the devices or fields which is another good sign. Looks like the obverse rim may have been filed to see if it exposed a counterfeit base metal like brass or for silver testing. I would ask the seller for an accurate weight before taking the chance. Looks to be XF in my opinion.

Quote: Slider did you pick this one up? No, the scrape on the rim got me off the coin. It sold on ebay two days ago for $339. On Tuesday, at Heritage I was the under bidder on a 1877 CC Trade dollar AU53 PCGS that sold for $2520.
