Recent purchase from the IMEX show in Nashville. In a CACG holder, what are your thoughts?

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."

I will say AU-55, quite a bit of detail.

CACG was conservative on this one and called it a XF45. I personally think this one is an AU50. Super happy though, this is a tough one to get original.

Your example is a strong XF 45 for the grade. There was a XF45 PCGS that sold at Stack's in June 2025 for $780 and your example is better. I could only find one graded by CACG at XF45 in their pop report, so that must be the one that you own.

The price guides list as follows for a XF45 1873:
CAC $675
NGC $700
PCGS $800

If you do not mind, what did you pay for your example?

Just like MS60, AU50 to me says: "butchered coin".
Yours is much nicer, so I think XF45 is right on the mark.

As with CAC Seated Liberty dollars, CAC Trade dollar price guides are way off. The closest comp I had was an 1873 PCGS CAC XF45 that sold for $1020 at HA in March as part of the Old Chelsea collection (https://coins.ha.com/itm/trade-doll...3325-92149.s ). I thought this example was a bit stronger, and closer to AU than that example. I paid $1050 for mine.
