I'm not sure about this one. It's in a TPG holder (one of the top 4 TPGs), so probably genuine. Are the pictures juiced? What do you think about it? Grade? The holder is a no problem MS-6x. You guess the "x".   Edited by jimbucks

These pictures are over exposed, too many white area to properly pin down the fine details. Nice die crack on the reverse around the letter Trade dollar and part of UNIted. I will say this is a MS-63 coin. |

I exercised my #1 Rule: When in doubt BUY! There were 18 watchers on ebay, so I pulled the trigger. Didn't see anything suspicious in sellers other items, so no red flags. I think there is potential value in ICG holdered coins. MS Trade dollars have been undervalued for quite some time.   Edited by jimbucks

Looks like a nice coin with some mirrors and a little cameo. I am at 63. The coin appears to be a higher grade than 62. Check it for hairlines from a wipe on the fields. Most likely there is a reason ICG gave it a 62.

 ICG is not known to under grade coins. If anything they are typically spot on or slightly optimistic. |

I think I am agreeing with slider23 for this one.

Take some new photos if you have it in hand.

From the http://goccf.com/t/138135 thread, I think this is the ICG 2nd generation holder. As I recall, when ICG first came on the scene the grey sheet had a premium for their graded coins. In all likelihood, I will crack this out and send off to NGC. Edited by jimbucks

There are a few deep gouges on this one, and that likely accounts for the grade. There is a gash from Liberty's right hand and below her right elbow, and another left of the date. The reverse has three smaller gouges, but they are also fairly deep, two west of the eagle's right leg (our visual left) and one east of the arrows. Along with some surface scarring, that's enough to call it a 62.
That said, the coin sure looks nice for the grade. I agree with the upthread comments about ICG's optimism, but this one looks solid for the grade.

I agree with Dave. Often ICG over-grades coins. I bet that the seller purposedly overexposed to photos to hide scratches and dings. Typical of 90+% of ebay sellers. I hope you have return privileges. |
