pristine2 Pillar of the Community United States 1048 Posts	Posted 01/21/2022 8:12 pm Most Trade dollars have old cleanings -- European traders & wholesalers especially would wash them as a matter of course -- and while I can't tell from your photos, it's likely this one is no different. TPGs often give them a break unless the cleaning is particularly harsh or seems recent. The details on your coin are VF-ish. The rim distress would detail it at a TPG. Given the rim issues and the common date, it isn't a good slab candidate. Edited by pristine2 01/21/2022 8:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 01/21/2022 8:19 pm Shame about the rim damage, surfaces on this one look more original than most. I'm at VF30 Details, rim damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 01/21/2022 8:56 pm Can you get a close up of the hand that holds the branch? There appears to be only 3 fingers as was used on a type 1. 1878 only used the type 2 design that had four fingers. Edited by Slider23 01/21/2022 8:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
