I highly doubt it, since it was struck at San Fransisco (Philadelphia struck proofs back then). But it could in theory be a branch mint proof, but this is unlikely.

You're very astute at buying raw coins. I see traces of harsh cleaning on the obverse and on the reverse at 4 o clock.
I would say ms details.

I would label it MS60-61 DMPL. Maybe it would be worth sending it to NGC/PCGS +/- CAC.

It is a "first strike" from newly polished dies. It could have been a presentation piece. I owned a similar piece about 15 years ago.

Congrats! It's a beautiful coin. Have you tested the depth of the fields yet?
I just sold my 76-S today at a 33% premium of what I paid for it. Seems like there are buyers for this series.
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."

Either way that is a gorgeous coin with HUGE eye appeal. I absolutely love Trade dollars and I think you would have an easy time selling it. I wonder if it would be forth sending it to PCGS for another opinion? They might let it pass without any notations. |

Thank you! If it gets a pass at PCGS, then I would respect them even less than I already do. This coin has been noticeably cleaned.
